With the growth of high bandwidth demand in data center, high speed becomes the trend of data center cabling system. Using MTP / MPO components for MTP / MPO cabling to achieve fast and efficient network cabling has become a common solution in data centers. This paper describes the necessity and significance of high-density MTP wiring system, and introduces MTP components respectively.
At present, the most common pre terminated MTP jumpers are 12 core and 24 core, which can meet 72 core at most, including male (with pin) and female (without pin). The emergence of MTP technology meets the requirements of large capacity optical fiber system, and it is an ideal choice for data center to achieve high density and high performance.
MTP cabling solution -- Data Center Cabling Trend
The traditional LC cabling system has long been unable to meet the requirements of high transmission rate and high density in large data centers, so some it designers turn to MTP cabling scheme. Different from LC wiring, this kind of wiring scheme can perfectly meet the requirements of high speed, high density and structure wiring
1、 Stable and durable
The ferrule design of MTP connector reduces the possibility of signal instability to a certain extent and improves the durability.
2、 High density, scalable
MTP connector conforms to Telcordia standard (original Bellcore standard). It has been used in different environments for more than ten years and solved the problem of carrying multi fiber with small capacity. For example, the LC duplex connection in the 1U chassis can hold 144 fibers, while the MTP can hold 864 fibers, which is nearly six times of the former.
3、 Time saving and high deployment efficiency
If 144 optical fibers are to be terminated and detected, it may take a day for the network installation personnel, but by using the MTP connector, the time for 12 or 24 optical fibers with tool clasps will be greatly shortened. If you use the pre installed plug and play cable, the whole installation process will be more time-saving, and the later maintenance cost will be lower.
4、 Prepare for network upgrade
MTP wiring can be used for direct connection of 40G-40G, 100G-100G, 200G-200G and 400G-400G, as well as upgrade and uplink connection. It is very common to upgrade 10G to 40G / 100G / 120G by using MTP cabling system. It is an economical and reliable choice to upgrade 10G network to higher speed Ethernet. At the same time, the uplink connection between different speed devices can also be realized through MTP cabling system, such as 25G-100G, 50G-200G / 400G, 100G-400G, 200G-400G.
5、 Structured rack cabling
MTP structured cabling provides a hierarchical structure for the network. It will provide multiple connection schemes through the convergence layer, which can reduce the problem of cable clutter. When the data center needs to expand in the future, you can build a long-term solution by installing a structured MTP cabling system to meet your needs.
MTP jumper products: various demands and choices
MTP wiring series has a wide range of products, which can meet the needs of different applications, including MTP jumper, MTP distribution box, MTP-LC branch cable:
MTP trunk jumper
MTP trunk jumper is composed of an optical cable and connectors at both ends, which can be used to connect optical modules to form a complete link. It can usually accommodate 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48 or even 72 core optical fibers, fully meeting the requirements of high-density wiring. There are two main applications: one is used for direct connection of optical modules, such as 40Gbase-SR4 / PLR4, 100Gbase-SR4 / SR10, 200Gbase-SR8 and 400Gbase-SR8; the other is used for distribution box and panel to realize structured wiring, which is helpful for rapid deployment of backbone network in high-density environment.
MTP branch jumper
One end of MTP branch jumper is equipped with an MTP connector, which can be branched into multiple LC connectors, the number of which varies from 4, 6, 8 to 12. The connector type can be LC, SC, ST, etc., and the multi-core jumper can be converted into simplex or duplex connector. MTP branch jumper can be divided into single mode and multi-mode. The transmission distance can be extended from several meters to longer distance. It is an ideal choice for 10G-40G, 25G-100G and 10G-120G network conversion.
MTP conversion jumper
MTP transfer jumper adopts fan out design like MTP branch jumper, but both ends are connected with MTP connector. The number and type of fiber cores of connectors at both ends are different, which provides a variety of connection possibilities for 24 core wiring system, and can realize a variety of applications, such as 24 core to 2 * 12 core, 24 core to 3 * 8 core, 3 * 8 core to 2 * 12 core, etc.
MTP adapter and MTP adapter panel
MTP adapter is a supplementary product of MTP optical fiber jumper. According to the key direction, there are two kinds: key up and key up and key down. Both types of adapters are suitable for MTP jumper or jumper to device connection, which are very common in trunk wiring and distribution box applications. MTP adapter panel can accommodate more adapters, which is an upgrade structure with security board. By pre installing the adapter, the adapter panel can act as the intermediary between the backbone network and the jumper, thus providing a more stable and compact network solution.
MTP optical fiber distribution box
MTP optical fiber distribution box is a closed box structure. Generally, there are 12 or 24 optical fibers in it. There are LC or other types of connectors in the front and MTP connectors in the back. The optical fiber of the main cable can be divided into duplex jumpers. With the combination of MTP distribution box and rack, high-density data center infrastructure can be rapidly deployed, and troubleshooting and reconfiguration can be carried out during management.
MTP-LC rack adapter panel
The 96 core pre terminated MTP-LC rack adapter panel can be installed on a 19 inch wide distribution frame, so the 96 core fiber can be directly deployed in a 1U rack without additional equipment. When 10G-40G or 25G-100G connection needs to be deployed, MTP jumper can be used to connect the 40G / 100G switch port to the rear port of the panel, and then duplex LC jumper can be used to connect the 10G / 25G device to the front port of the panel. This MTP-LC rack adapter panel has a detachable cable management panel at the back, which greatly simplifies the management of trunk cables, improves the installation efficiency and optimizes the cable layout.
With the deployment of 40G / 100G / 200G / 400G data center network, high-speed and high-density has become a trend, and the traditional LC cabling has been unable to meet the demand. However, the MTP routing scheme caters to this trend. With its advantages of saving time, space and cost, as well as superior stability and high density, it paves the way for the construction of high-performance data center network. There is no doubt that MTP cabling scheme and MTP cabling components are the best choice for data interconnection and high-speed migration.
