Outside fiber - Terminate inside with MPO/MTP?

Hey all,

We are working on our outside fiber and we recently went to MPO internally for all our DC cross connections. We are planning on loose tube fiber to all the buildings.

My thinking was terminating to MPO pigtails inside then using MPO cassettes. The big questions I have are:

  1. Do MPO pigtails exist?
  2. Has anyone done this?
  3. Is this smart?
  4. Any caveats?

We are really just looking to make it easier to relocate fiber within the rack or room. Please let me know if this is something stupid or just not done (reasoning would be great). I know traditionally it is either SC or LC connectors but looking to see what options we might have.
