Differences between MPO fiber adapters and MTP fiber connect
TIME：2023-09-30
The difference between MPO fiber optic adapter and MTP fiber optic connector, now we need the increasing bandwidth, which includes the continuous accumulation of new data centers, at this time there are a lot of users have some questions about the high-density connection head of the data center. So how to understand the relevant knowledge? It starts with their differences, of course.
What is MT core
MT is short for Mechanical Transfer. It is a multi-core insert (the traditional fiber is a single-core insert), the alignment accuracy of the MT insert directly affects the performance of the multi-core connector, and the alignment accuracy of the insert is determined by the eccentricity and spacing of the fiber and the guide Pin (Pin) and the fiber matching accuracy. Therefore, the grinding tools of the MT core and the MT core molding process must have very high precision, and the shape and tolerance of the PIN pin are also crucial.
What is an MPO Fiber Optic Connector
MPO is the abbreviation of Multi-fiber Push On, its main industrial standard is IEC-61754-7, the current national standard is YD/T 1272.5-2009, the US standard is EIA/TIA-604-5, which is usually called FOCIS 5. At present, there are also some domestic MPO abrasive production on the market, which will greatly reduce the cost of MPO.
MAdvantages of PO connectors
Small size, smaller than the SC fiber connector
High precision, precision MT guide needle and guide hole ensure the accuracy of fiber alignment
High density, can support 12 ~ 96 core fiber connection
What is MTP Fiber Optic Connector?
MTP is a high-performance MPO connector, and USCON has a patent connector. It meets both EIA/TIA-604-5 FOCIS 5 and IEC-61754-7 MPO fiber optic connector standards.
What are the differences between MPO fiber optic connectors and MTP fiber optic connectors
A. Spare parts design, MTP spare parts are patented, the outer frame spare parts are easy to remove, MT core is convenient in the production rework grinding and ensure that the performance is not compromised. The positive of the MTP connector can be flexibly changed after assembly or even in the field, and interference detection can be performed after insertion assembly.
The B.TP connector has a stainless steel oval guide pin, which improves alignment accuracy and reduces wear on the guide hole
The C.TP fiber optic connector is designed with a metal pin clamp to hold the push ring. Prevents loss of guide pins
D.tp Fiber connector spring design maximizes strip clearance for 12-core and multi-core ribbon applications to prevent fiber damage.
The above is an introduction to the differences between MPO fiber optic adapters and MTP fiber connectors
