MTP MPO Fiber Cable Assemblies

MTP fiber or MPO fiber a new type of cabeling that is used for patching, Patching between patchpanels and network equipment. MPO / MTP is stands for “Multiple-Fibre Push-On/Pull-off”.

MPO is Multiple-Fibre Push-On connector. MPO connector, designed by US Conec Ltd., is simply tunned MPO connector with better optical and mechanical performance. The purpose of this technology is that you can pull just 1 single cable with for example 12 fibers. So in stead of patching 12 seperate fiber cables you only patch 1 cable with 1 connector.

Some MTP/MPO terminology:

MTP/MPO fanouts (In stock now)
MTP/MPO Trunks
MTP/MPO casettes
Direct Splits (MT /MPOto LC or MTP/MPO to SC cables)

>MTP/MPO fanouts (Hybrid and haness)

MTP fanout cables are cables that are multiple cables that are bundeled within the same jacket.
This is also often refered as a Breakout cable.

Hybrid/Fanout MTP/MPO Trunk Cables Features and Applications:

1.For fanout the fibers from MPO/MTP connectors into individual simplex or duplex connector
2.To install directly into system equipment ports or patch panels
3. MPO/MTP on one end, with single-fiber connectors on another end
4. Fiber counts available in 12 / 24 / 36 / 48 / 72 /96 / 144-fibers
5. Single-fiber connector interface available in SC, ST, LC, MTRJ in forms of Simplex or Duplex channeling
6. Customized furcation length to cater for different installation situations
7.Ruggedized furcation legs: Round fanout kit with 2.0 mm or 3.0 mm legs to single-fiber connectors

>MTP/MPO Trunks

The MTP trunk cable is designs for Data Center Applications. This cable is a round cable with the outer diameter of 3,0 mm or 4,5 mm (with two jackets on both sides). The connectors where this cable is terminated on is the so called MTP connector (female).

Features:
1. Ideal for high density Datacenter application, choice from 12 to 144-fiber cable

2. One end MPO with guiding pins, connect to trunk cable thru MPO adapter

3. One end MPO without guiding pins, connects to cassette module or hybrid trunk cable

4. Rest of the specifications are same as trunk cable

>MTP/MPO casettes

The MTP casette is nothing more then a basic case which splits out MTP to SC/LC connectors.

>Direct Splits (MTP to LC or MTP to SC cables)

MTP Direct Split cables are cables with the fanout made directly in the MTP connector. These are designed for high density Data Center applications to plug into MTP casettes and/or MTP patchpanel
