What is the structure and working principle of MTP and MPO cable assemblies?MTP and MPO cable assemblies are high-density optical fiber connectors that are widely used in data centers,communication networks,and optical fiber transmission systems.Fibercan Optical Cable will analyze the structure and working principle of MTP and MPO cable assemblies.
1.Structure
The structure of MTP and MPO cable assemblies is mainly composed of two parts:plug and socket.Both the plug and receptacle have multiple fiber optic channels,each with a fiber optic connection point.Connection between plug and receptacle is achieved by spring clamping force and alignment pins.The connection mode of the plug and socket can be single-mode or multi-mode,and usually adopts the design of 12 cores or 24 cores.
2.Working principle
The working principle of MTP and MPO cable assemblies is to realize signal transmission through optical fiber transmission.When two MTP or MPO cable assemblies are connected,the fiber optic channels between the plug and receptacle are automatically aligned,enabling fiber-to-fiber connections.During the connection process,the end face of the fiber is held in place by spring clamping force and alignment pins between the plug and receptacle.
The working principle of MTP and MPO cable assemblies also includes two important parameters:insertion loss and return loss.Insertion loss refers to the loss of optical signals due to the existence of optical fiber connectors during optical fiber transmission.Return loss refers to the loss of optical signals reflected back in the fiber optic connector.In order to ensure the quality of fiber optic connections,MTP and MPO cable assemblies need to meet certain insertion loss and return loss requirements.
In short,the structure and working principle of MTP and MPO cable assemblies is to realize signal transmission through optical fiber transmission.During the connection process,the optical fiber channel between the plug and the receptacle is automatically aligned,thereby realizing the connection between the optical fibers.MTP and MPO cable assemblies are used in a wide range of applications to meet the needs of high-density fiber optic connections.
