Keep MTP® Connectivity End-to-End
Connect MTP® trunks to harnesses or other MTP® cabling without changing connector format inside the module.
High-density data center architectures often need a modular point where MTP® trunks, extended trunks, harnesses or patching can be connected without converting to LC or introducing field splicing. The STAR400 MTP® Adapter Module is designed for that pass-through role.
Its extractable module format supports faster loading and removal inside compatible STAR enclosures, helping technicians manage moves, adds and changes while keeping the backbone architecture modular.
Connect MTP® trunks to harnesses or other MTP® cabling without changing connector format inside the module.
Extractable modules and plug-and-play connectivity reduce the handling required for changes inside dense racks.
The STAR400 module platform concentrates multiple MTP® connection points into a small removable module.
The source specifies 100% insertion-loss and return-loss testing for the module.
The datasheet positions the STAR400 family around eight-fiber / Base-8 architecture and migration to data rates up to 400 Gb/s. For the MTP® Adapter Module, the module provides MTP® connection points between trunks and harnesses in a plug-and-play topology.

Capacity QA: the source specification states 32 fibers, while the ordering matrix allows either four or six MTP® adapters. Because the source does not reconcile the fiber count for both configurations, the page does not claim a single maximum fiber capacity.
The same removable MTP® adapter module can be deployed across multiple STAR enclosure sizes, allowing the data center architecture to scale while keeping a consistent modular connectivity approach.
Create modular MTP® connection points between backbone trunks and downstream fiber assemblies.
Join MTP® trunk cabling to equipment-side harnesses in a removable pass-through module.
Maintain multi-fiber MTP® connectivity in architectures that use parallel optical links.
Use extractable modules to simplify reconfiguration in active high-density racks.
