From article ”All you want to know abut MTRJ Connector” We have learned the basics of MTRJ to MTRJ patch cord, but do you know where MTRJ patch cords are used? Below YINGDA will explain in depth.
MTRJ cable (fiber patch cord pigtails) are mainly used in scenarios with high requirements for space utilization. Its core advantage is that the dual-core integrated design can significantly save space.
High-density network equipment connection
MTRJ cable are commonly used to connect optical ports of network equipment such as switches and routers, especially suitable for occasions where a large number of fiber interfaces are required but rack space is limited. Its compact connector (which takes up 50% less space than traditional dual LC connectors) effectively improves the port density of equipment.
Small and medium-sized data center and enterprise cabling system
MTRJ patch cord are applicable to the distribution frame (MDA/EDA) in the data center, high-density fiber distribution box and fiber backbone cabling of enterprise local area network (LAN). Its design is particularly suitable for high density termination in a small space, simplifying cabling management.
MTRJ Fiber Core Features
Dual-fiber-in-one: One connector terminates two fibers (usually duplex) at the same time, which is the key to its space saving.
Plastic material, snap-on lock: MTRJ connector body is mostly made of plastic and is fixed with a push-pull snap-on lock. It is easy to install, but the durability and insertion loss are usually slightly inferior to the LC/SC/FC type with ceramic ferrules.
Gradually replaced: With the development of higher density and higher performance solutions (such as LC duplex, MPO/MTP and especially short-tail lc connector), the application of MTRJ is not as widespread as in the early days, but it is still used in specific scenarios where inventory or space is extremely limited.
