Cable fire rating requirements and CPR
European (including UK) Fire Rating Requirements for Data Cables
The introduction of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) in 2017 updated the cable sheath fire rating requirements for data cables. Although the rating system was harmonised (Euroclass system), the implementation of CPR was down to each country’s national standards body. This means that the fire rating required in a particular location is both country and application specific. The majority of countries require Dca rated cables as a minimum for patch cables and Cca or higher for trunk cables.
Bca rated cables
Depending on application, some countries require Bca rated cables. Please contact us directly for Bca rated cables. Please contact us directly for these cables.
Plenum OFNP rated cables are not covered within EU/UK regulations
Plenum sheath is specified within regulations in the USA. Plenum sheath cables would not automatically meet with EU fire rating requirements.

Generic verus Specific brand
MPO is the generic name for “multi-fibre push-on” connectors as opposed to single fibre connectors such as LC or SC. There are many manufacturers of MPO connectors each with varying degrees of performance. MTP® is a brand of MPO connector made by US Conec®.
All MPO connectors have a floating ferrule which is aligned using guide pins and help against the opposing MPO ferrule with a spring. The manufactured tolerance of the ferrule and the quality of the springs are key factors in determining the lifetime performance of the connector. MTP® connectors have a very low manufactured tolerance and a high spring force which ensures continued performance over time.
For more information – Differences between generic MPO connectors and the higher performing MTP (MPO) connector.
Complete Connect’s M310 Series MTP to LC breakout cables are for direct connection between MTP trunk cables and equipment SFP+ transceiver ports via MTP adaptor plates. Available in polarity A, B or C these MTP to LC breakout cables also enable connection to SFP+ ports in adjacent racks.
M310 Series breakout cables are compatible with all other MTP cassette based systems without any loss of performance.
M310 Series cables have a micro cable construction which gives them a small diameter, a low weight per meter and a low bend radius. Their intended use is to make connections within the same rack or run between adjacent data racks in easily accessible overhead cable trays or open ducting systems separate from power cables or heavier copper cables.
