What is High-density MPO/MTP Cabling System?
High-density MPO/MTP Cabling System is an optical fiber cable system, consist of MPO/MTP fiber patch cords.
MPO/MTP fiber patch cords Overview
(1) The concept of MPO fiber patch cord
MPO fiber patch cord refers to various forms of fiber patch cords that can be produced after MPO connectors and fiber optic cables are processed.
The MPO patch cord can have a 2 ~ 12 core design, up to 24 cores, and the 12-core MPO connector is currently the most used. The compact design of the MPO connector makes the MPO patch cord cores more in number and smaller in size.
MPO fiber patch cords are widely used in the wiring process, high-density integrated fiber line environment, FTTX and 40 / 100G SFP, SFP+ and other transceiver modules or equipment inside and outside the connection application.
(2) Development background of MPO fiber patch cord
In order to meet the high-density and high-efficiency optical cable connection requirements of high-speed large-capacity optical communication systems, MPO fiber patch cords were developed and appeared on the market.
As a new technology, the high-end pickup density of the MPO fiber system can increase the number of fibers and the application of fiber connectors. It is no longer only 12-core or 24-core, but maybe 72-core. MTP / MPO high-density wiring system is to complete high-density fiber patch cord and factory ribbon cable, complete termination, testing and equipment on site, plug and play, and agree to rapid configuration. In the context of, it is an ideal solution for the needs of data centers. It has the characteristics of simple installation, fast construction speed, compact design, high precision, plug and play.
(3) Common types of MPO fiber patch cords
MPO fiber patch cords are divided into MPO backbone fiber patch cords and MPO branch fiber patch cords by application.
MPO trunk fiber patch cords are used as permanent connections for MTP / MPO modules. They can flexibly change the connection form on the fiber panel.
MPO branch fiber patch cords provide a transition between multi-fiber patch cords to a single fiber patch cord or duplex connector. These fiber patch cords provide a variety of applications for all networks and devices that require 100G modules, including CFP, CFP2, and CFP4 series.
MPO fiber patch cords are divided into transfer type and non-transfer type according to the connection type. There are many types of transfer MPO fiber patch cords. There are ribbon MPO fiber patch cords and bundle MPO fiber patch cords. Square) fan-out MPO fiber patch cord, generally can be transferred to 2 ~ 24 core 0.9 or 2.0 optical cable branch, the connector type is specified by the customer, optional FC, LC, SC and ST types, various forms of MPO fiber The patch cord products all meet Telcordia-GR-326, IEC standards and Rohs requirements.
