1.Protect the effectiveness and safety of investment. Although the application of MPO/MTP fiber optic cable places high requirements on the integrator’s preliminary and actual site survey capabilities, it can also fully protect the investor’s right to control the project and the right to know the use of products, and avoid Material waste and project investment risks.
2. Economical and applicable. On the whole, the MPO/MTP pre-fabrication method does not increase additional costs.
3. Simple operation, easy installation, saving installation time, plug and play. We can make a simple comparison. For example, to lay 1 288-core fiber optic cable, 3 construction personnel, 2 sets of equipment, using the traditional splicing method, the laying takes about 2 hours, and the splicing plus installation time takes about 8 Hours, a total of about 10 hours, and if using MPO/MTP pre-finished fiber optic cable, the laying time is still 2 hours, but the installation time is greatly reduced, only about 45 minutes, which undoubtedly has a huge advantage in time cost.
4. The MPO/MTP pre-finished fiber optic cable is fully tested in the factory, and no other products are attached to the installation process, and the field test operation is simple.
5. The optical fiber link is fully protected. There are no fusion splices and bare optical fibers exposed to the air, and there will be no problems such as aging and joint breakage.
6. Maintenance is convenient and safe. The mechanical performance of the MPO/MTP pre-finished fiber optic cable splitter is very good, and the maintenance or operation process will not affect the normal use of the optical fiber.
7. It can be reinstalled and moved. The splitter of the MPO/MTP pre-finished fiber optic cable can be quickly plugged and moved, and reinstalled as needed.
Compared with ordinary optical cables, the main characteristics of MPO/MTP optical cables are high density and pre-finished ends, which are finally reflected in MPO/MTP multi-core connectors. Looking at the development of the industry, fiber optic connectors have two obvious development stages: the first stage is to save space and develop towards miniaturization. Fiber optic connectors develop from traditional FC, ST, and SC to LC and MTRJ. In the second stage, not only to save space, but also to meet the requirements of multi-core use, the optical fiber connector evolved from LC, MTRJ to MU, MPO/MTP.
With the gradual approach of 5G and the rapid development of technologies such as data center interconnection, optical fiber sensing, and new-generation optical fibers, optical transmission networks with ultra-large capacity, ultra-high speed, and ultra-long distances will become necessary for the construction of 5G data centers Conditions, the dual advantages of MPO/MTP optical cables in terms of technology and cost are very likely to become the mainstream way for operators to construct 5G data centers in the future.
