Transition Harness

The P3Link Xtreme Transition Harness breaks down the 24 port MTP connector used on the 100GbE MXP port into (2) 12 fiber MTP connectors so that the proper transmit/receive pairs are grouped together.  The harness routes from the switch to a 4U patch panel that houses MTP adapter panels to interface with the trunk/backbone cable.
