Comparison of MPO connector and MTP，What is MPO?
MPO stands for"Multi-fiber Push On",which is a fiber optic connector developed by NTT Japan in the 1980s.MPO is mainly used in high-bandwidth and high-density applications,parallel optical systems and data centers.12 and 24 fiber MPO are the most popular types and are currently used to connect 40G and 100G optical modules.MPO connectors include MPO connector kits and MT ferrules(mechanical transmission).
What is an MTP connector?
The MTP connector is a trademark of the MPO connector owned by US Conec.It improves the performance of standard MPO connectors in many ways,including mechanical and optical characteristics.MTP connectors are fully compliant with IEC-61754-7 and TIA-604-5FOCIS5)MPO standards,and are interchangeable and 100%with each other compatible.This means you can directly interconnect MTPs and MPOs between application seats.
What is the difference between MPO connector and MTP connector?
1.The MTP connector has a removable shell.
2.MTP has a floating ferrule to improve mechanical properties
3.MTP connectors use tight tolerance stainless steel oval guide pin tips
4.The MTP connector has a metal pin clip that features a centered push spring.5.The MTP connector spring design maximizes ribbon clearance for twelve-fiber and multi-fiber ribbon applications to prevent damage to the fiber 6.The MTP connector offers four strain relief boots to suit a variety of applications.Above are the initial 6 aspects that make MTP different from MPO.But with the development of technology,MPO connector suppliers are also upgrading their products to have the best performance.These suppliers provide advanced MPO connectors with similar functions to MTP,and have the characteristics that make MTP different from the beginning.All the same functions of.For example,in the FSG product list we also offer types with removable housings and floating ferrules
How should I choose MPO and MTP?Fibercan Optical Cable tells you how to choose MPO and MTP
If you are looking for multi-core connectors for data center or telecom applications,you can choose MPO connectors or MTP,they are 100%compatible.
They are easy to remember,the MPO connector is an interface type,there are many different suppliers offer this type of product,the MTP connector is one of the brands that offer higher performance.However,USConec only provides connector kits and MT ferrules,they do not assemble the parts into MTP or MPO cables,which are required products in the network.Then you may need to buy finished patch cords from a manufacturer like ours,we use our own brand MPO connectors or MTP connectors to produce jumpers
