MPO/MTP is an incredibly high-density fiber optic connector, its size is double the size of LC, but it can contain up to seventy-two fibers! It greatly reduces the physical space for data centers.
When connecting the MPO connections, it is important to ensure that the connectors being connected are of the same core configuration (e.g. 12 cores with 12 cores or 24 cores with 24 cores). Furthermore, it is essential to match the same polishing type of connectors, with either PC or APC. Additionally, if both connectors are female, they will not be able to be connected. Furthermore, it is essential to ensure that PC polished connectors are not connected with APC polished connectors.
When selecting your MPO patch cord, it is best to determine the gender and the polarity of the MPO MTP patch cord in your data center.Once you’ve identified this information, you can then buy a patch cord that will be able to connect the two MPs together, for example, if the MPO MTP connector is a male type, you will need to purchase a female type MPO MTP patch cord.
Cable diameter normal is 3.0mm round cable, however we offer more options like flat cable, 4.5mm double shealth cable and armoured cable.
When it comes to MPO/MTP patch cord types, we have A type, B type, and C type (fiber arrangement). Both male and female connectors are available, the female one comes without PIN whereas the male version with PIN.
Regarding fiber types, we have the choice between single-mode (G652D, G657A1, G657A2) and multi mode (OM3, OM4, OM5). The MPO/MTP types have been split up into 4/8/12/16/24/32/48 fiber and two different types for insertion loss are present, Standard and Elite / Low Loss.
