12-Fiber MPO/MTP Patch Cord - Low Insertion Loss OM3/OM4
Low Insertion Loss OM3 PVC 3.0mm OM4 (50/125) MPO MTP 12-Fiber patch cord designed for high-performance data center applications.
MPO Connector Overview
MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) connectors feature multiple fibers in a single ferrule with a mechanical snap-in mechanism. These connectors have evolved significantly since their introduction in the 1990s, with modern versions offering superior optical performance through advanced ferrules like the MT and MT ELITE designs.
Standard MPO connectors typically contain 12 fibers, though variants with 8, 16, 24, 48, and 72 fibers are also available. The MTP connector, produced by US Conec, represents a high-performance evolution of the MPO standard.
Application Guidelines
MPO Cable Polarity for Different Data Rates
- Type C cables: 1G, 10G, or 25G duplex networks - Connecting between MPO/LC cassettes
- Type B cables: 40G and 100G networks
- Type A cables: 40G and 100G networks when extending links
MPO cables have become essential in modern data centers due to standardization requirements and increasing data rates that demand more fiber channels. Their modular design supports efficient, scalable infrastructure solutions.
