MPO – MTP Assemblies – Data Center Cabling Switch

Parallel optical technology has become the transmission option of choice in many data centers because it can support 10G, 40G and 100G transmission. In order for parallel optics to work continuously, it needs the right cable and connector. There is no doubt that fiber optic cable is the primary choice for data center cabling because it can have countless advantages over network cable in the data center environment, allowing network designers to take advantage of the new data center architecture.

MPO = (multiple fibers in one fiber)

The MPO connector stands for “Multi-Fiber Push On” industry, provides continuous connections and is available with 4, 8, 12 or 24 fiber cores.

MTP = Mechanical Transfer Push-On.

Using MPO (Multi Fiber Push-On) / MTP (Mechanical Transfer Push-On) multi-core connector, data speed up to 100Gbit/s at a maximum distance of 150m (OM4) or 100m (OM3)

MTP/MPO products:
MTP connection
MTP/MPO Trunk Cables
MTP/MPO harness cables
MTP/MPO Plug-and-Play Cassettes
Mack/MPO Rack Mount
MTP/MPO adapters
MTP/MPO Loopback
The MTP connector housing is detachable. This feature allows the customer to:

Reworked and repolished Flora MT
Change the gender after assembly or even in the field after assembly, scan the ferrule interferometrically
The MTP connector offers a floating ferrule for improved mechanical performance. This allows the two tubular couplers to maintain physical contact under the applied load.

The MTP connector uses oval-shaped, hard-tolerance stainless steel guide pin tips. Elliptical guide tips improve guide shape and reduce guide hole wear.

The MTP connector has a metal pin clip with compression spring centering features. this feature:

Removes lost pins
Eliminates fiber damage from harnessing
The spring design of the MTP connector increases the ribbon spacing for twelve-fiber and multi-fiber ribbons to prevent fiber damage.

The MTP connector comes in four standard types to meet a wide range of applications.

Round and loose fiber cable structures
Oval jacket cable
Uncoated fiber ribbon
A short button that reduces the footprint by 45%. Ideal for use in space-constrained applications
MPO / MTP Fanout & Trunk Cables that can be custom made for any application. All cables are factory terminated and pre-tested, ensuring high performance and ease of installation. Fanout assemblies can be made with any single fiber connector and any type of core fiber. These cables are designed to work with MPO fiber distribution products.

High Density MPO Fiber Distribution Cassettes offer unmatched fiber density and are designed to be used alongside high density panels. Each cassette has a fanout assembly that converts from 12 MPO fiber connectors to 6 pairs of bi-directional LC. The cassettes are designed to be installed with the LC Uniboot assembly for the highest density available. The panel and cassette combination is capable of supporting 144 fibers in 1RU, 288 fibers in 2RU and 576 fibers in 4RU. MTP / MPO harness cables are available with 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 and 144 fiber options.

High Density Rack Mount Fiber Management Panels provide unmatched fiber density and performance. The panels are capable of supporting 144 fibers in 1RU, 288 fibers in 2RU and 576 fibers in 4RU. These panels support high-density MPO distribution cassettes that enable scalable MPO deployment and incorporate fiber management components.

Rapid deployment benefits
Since MPO/MTP products are factory terminated, they can be easily and simply installed. They use a simple latching mechanism for easy and intuitive push and pull. Therefore, the installation process consists only of pulling and plugging, eliminating all the unpredictable problems of field termination. It is estimated that installation time for MPO/MTP solutions can be reduced by up to 75% compared to conventional cabling systems.

High density
The MPO/MTP connector, which has the same size as an SC connector, can accommodate 24/12 fibers and provides 24/12 times the density.

Scalability
As we all know, most MPO/MTP products are modular solutions. This option is suitable for ease of development and quick and easy configuration of the system.

Save money
The installation process of MPO / MTP products is simple and easy. Therefore, the installation time, which involves expensive and skilled labor, can be minimized.
