MTP MPO Cable is interchangeably used nowadays. An enhanced version of MPO cable is MTP. Firstly allowing changing, re-working, and polishing connector heads, the MTP connector has a removable housing. Secondly, to ensure that the cable is not easily broken inside the connector housing, it has a more advanced mechanical support system.
Nevertheless, many MPOs provide breaking resistance from extensive bending force and have implemented similar mechanical support, but a removable housing is not guaranteed.
One of the contributors that led the migration to 40/100GbE is MMPO/MTP technology, which is of reliability, flexibility, and high density with upgradeable as well as scalable properties. However, another challenge is faced by the network designers. Using multi-fiber MPO/MTP components from the end-to-end, proper polarity of these array connections is assured. A transmit signal from any type of active equipment will be directed, which is ensured by maintaining the correct polarity across a fiber network so that it can get a port of the second piece of active equipment.
The MTP Cable is in complete compliance with every MPO connector and is 100% inter-mate able. In generic, MPO connectors become limited in terms of performance and never provide high-performance levels.
MTP connector is superior to generic MPO connectors: Know why
The MTP connector has benefits and features. A few key distinctions are:
- To improve mechanical performance, The MTP has a floating ferrule. To maintain physical contact while under an applied load, this allows two mated ferrules.
- A removable housing is present in The MTP connector. The customer is allowed to re-polish and re-work the MT ferrule, scan the ferrule interferometrically after assembly and change the gender in the field or even after assembly by the feature.
- With features for centering the push spring, The MTP connector has a metal pin clamp. This feature eliminates fiber damage from spring, centers spring force, and eliminates lost pins.
- Tolerance stainless steel elliptical guide pin tips are held by The MTP connector used tightly. This reduces guide hole wear and improves guidance.
- For multi-fiber and twelve fiber ribbon applications, The MPO Cable spring design maximizes ribbon clearance to prevent fiber damage.
