OptiTip® Cable Assemblies

Category Overview

NetSource’s OptiTip® Cable Assemblies, manufactured in the U.S., provide a robust, pre-terminated solution designed for high-performance Outside Plant (OSP) applications. These assemblies feature hardened OptiTip® Connectors that encapsulate the MT ferrule in a watertight, sealed assembly, making them ideal for demanding outdoor installations. OptiTip® assemblies are engineered for faster deployment, offering up to 50% quicker installation compared to traditional splicing methods, and are factory-terminated and tested to ensure low optical loss and long-term reliability.

Available in trunk, harness, and pigtail configurations, these assemblies support flexible network design while minimizing field labor. Options for male (pinned) and female (non-pinned) terminations, as well as cable choices including dielectric, toneable, and armored constructions, allow for tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of fiber-to-the-x (FTTx), wireless, enterprise, and data center applications.

Designed for seamless integration with widely used hardened connector systems, NetSource’s OptiTip® assemblies support both new builds and existing network upgrades. Each assembly is built to endure harsh OSP conditions, with ratings including IP68, ensuring protection against water, dust, and environmental stresses. The ruggedized connectors and cables help maintain connectivity integrity during installation and operation.

Leveraging over 20 years of proven technology, OptiTip® cable assemblies provide a dependable, high-performance option for broadband, wireless, and enterprise network deployments — helping operators achieve faster rollouts, reduced costs, and improved service reliability.

OptiTip® Harnesses

NetSource’s OptiTip® Harness Assemblies, manufactured in the U.S., provide a pre-terminated, plug-and-play solution designed to connect multiport terminals, other OptiTip® cables, or directly to RRUs, with breakout ends also suitable for routing to patch panels for flexible integration. Featuring a rugged OptiTip® MT connector on one end and LC or SC breakouts on the other, these assemblies enable fast deployment for fiber-to-the-x (FTTx), broadband, and wireless networks. Available in round or flat cable designs, with custom breakout lengths (6″ to 48″) to accommodate a wide range of remote radio units (RRU) manufacturers and equipment requirements. The 2mm and 3mm breakout jackets can be specified with indoor ratings for LGX-style applications or with outdoor ratings for harsher environments.

OptiTip® Pigtails

NetSource’s OptiTip® Pigtail Assemblies provide a fast, dependable solution for network expansions, upgrades, and repairs. Each assembly features a factory-installed OptiTip® connector on one end and bare fiber on the other for splicing into existing fiber infrastructure. These pigtails offer flexibility for fiber-to-the-x (FTTx), broadband, and wireless applications.

OptiTip® Trunks

Net Source’s OptiTip® Trunk Assemblies offer a 12-fiber, factory-terminated solution designed to streamline backbone and drop cable deployment in fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) and wireless networks. These assemblies feature rugged OptiTip® connectors at both ends for quick, plug-and-play installation. In addition to standard deployments, they can serve as extender cables, providing a simple way to bridge connections between terminals or between terminals and active equipment. This flexible design helps reduce installation time and supports future network growth.
