Description
MPO patch cord (Multi fiber PushOn) connector is one of the MT series connectors. The MT series connectors use two guide holes with a diameter of 0.7mm on the left and right sides of the plug end face to accurately connect with the guide pin (also known as PIN pin). MPO connectors and fiber optic cables can be processed to produce various forms of MPO jumpers. MPO jumpers can have a design of 2-12 cores, up to 24 cores, and the most commonly used MPO connectors are 12 cores. The compact design of MPO connectors allows for a larger number of MPO jumper cores and a smaller size. MPO jumpers are widely used in wiring environments that require high-density integrated fiber optic lines, such as FTTX, 40/100GSFP, SFP+, and other transceiver modules or equipment connections.
MPO patch cord are divided into truck cable, hydra cable assembly, and fanout cable assembly( (circular or square breakout kits). Generally, they can be used to connect with 2-24 core 0.9 or 2.0 fiber optic cable branches. The type of connector SC LC FC ST, or the cable length and breakout length can be specified by the customer. All types of MPO patch cord no matter MPO truck cable, MTP 10 Gigabit patch cords, fanout mpo patch cord, all comply with Telcordia-GR-326, IEC standards, and Rohs requirements.
MPO Patch Cord Application
