The CX4 Media Converter connects directly to the CX4 port, and a 12-strand multimode ribbon cable is used between CX4 Media Converters

The 12-strand multimode ribbon cable can have either 62.5 or 50 micron core diameters, terminated by standard MTP™ (Multiple Terminations Push-pull Latch) connectors in a crossover configuration. The ribbon cables are known as MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) cables.

Users should specify a "crossover" (often called "key up/key up") configuration for the ribbon cable. Also, specify Female-Female cables to connect to ProCurve 10-GbE CX4 Media Converters.

For a suggested vendor of MPO ribbon cables, please see the "Cabling" answers on the "ProCurve 10-GbE Transceivers" FAQs Web page
