MPO and MTP Fiber Optic Cables

MTP connector is a high-performance MPO connector with multiple innovative designs. Compared with common MPO connector, MTP optical fiber connector is enhanced in both optical and mechanical properties. MTP connector fully complies with all professional standards for MPO connectors, including EIA/TIA-604–5 FOCIS 5 and IEC-61754–7.

MPO connector is an industry standard interchangeable MTP connector, which means it is possible to replace an MPO connector with an MTP connector for better performance. Most MPO connectors with older designs are quite limited in performance and do not offer the same high performance as MTP fiber connectors do. MTP/MPO fiber cables are the best solution for high density and high bandwidth application.

Difference between MPO and MPT Connectors

In terms of spare parts design, the spare parts of MTP are protected by patent, the spare parts of outer frame are easy to remove, and MT ferrule is convenient to rework and grind during production to ensure the performance is not degraded. The negative and positive values of the MTP connector can be flexibly changed after assembly or even in the field, and the ferrule can be detected by interference after assembly.

The guide pins of the MTP connector are oval shaped stainless steel, which improves alignment accuracy and reduces wear on the pilot holes.

MTP fiber optic connectors are designed with metal pin clips to secure the push ring and prevent guide wire loss.

The spring design of the MTP fiber connector maximizes strip clearance for 12-core and multi-core strip applications to prevent fiber damage.
