MPO/MTP Cable

MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords are available in different versions with different fiber categories. Here can be differentiated between Multi-mode MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cord and Single-mode MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords. Multi-mode fibers in MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords are currently available in 4 categories for transmissions in the first optical window due to their development history: OM1, OM2, OM3 and OM4 (the OM letters stand for Optical Multi-mode). Each Multi-mode fiber differs in its modal bandwidth.

OM1 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords usually have an orange colored sheathing and have a core size of (G62.5/125) 62.5 micrometers (µm); the modal bandwidth is 200 MHz/km at 850nm. OM1 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords can transmit 10 Gigabit data links over a length of up to 33 meters. However, it is most commonly used for 100 Megabit applications. This type is usually used for signal transmissions of LED light sources.

OM2 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords also usually have an orange sheathing. The core size is (G50/125) 50 micrometers (µm), the modal bandwidth is 500 MHz/km at 850nm. OM2 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords support up to 10 gigabit data links up to 82 meters in length, but are more commonly used for gigabit applications. OM2 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords are also commonly used for signal transmissions of LED light sources.

OM3 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords usually have a turquoise (or aqua)-sheathing. As with OM2 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords, the core size of OM3 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords is (G50/125) 50 micrometers (µm), but the modal bandwidth is 1500 MHz/km at 850nm. OM3 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords support 10 Gigabit on lengths of up to 300 meters. In addition, 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit transmissions can be implemented with OM3 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords on up to 100 meters, but 10 Gigabit is the most frequent application bandwidth. Unlike OM1 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords and OM2 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords, OM3 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords are used in combination with 850nm VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) light sources.

OM4 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords usually has a turquoise (or aqua) or magenta-colored sheathing. OM4 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords are an extended and improved version of OM3 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords. OM4 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords have a modal bandwidth of 3500 MHz/km at 850nm and also use a (G50/125) 50 micrometer (µm) core, but they support 10 gigabit link to lengths of up to 550 meters and 100 gigabit links on lengths of up to 150 meters. OM4 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords are also used in conjunction with 850nm VCSEL light sources.

Single-mode MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords, on the other hand, are suitable for transmissions in the second and third optical window between 1271nm and 1611nm. High quality Single-mode MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords are predominantly manufactured with G.652.D OS2 fibers. Single-mode MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords have a (E9/ 125) 50 micrometer (µm) core and, like Multi-mode MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords, Single-mode G.652.D MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords have a modal dispersion which results from multiple spatial modes, which is, however, more narrow. Single-mode G.652.D MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords are therefore better suited to maintain the accuracy of each light signal over longer distances. For these reasons, Single-mode G.652.D OS2 MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords are also more suitable for transmissions with a higher bandwidth.

MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) - This type of optical fiber connector was invented by NTT in the 1980s. The MPO connector provides multi-fiber configurations for multimode or single-mode connections, in standard with 4, 8, 12 or 24 fiber cores, but is also available as a custom option with up to 72 cores. The distance between the glass fibers is 250µm, so the MPO connector is a high-density solution that can make many glass fiber cores available in a single ferrule. The MPO connector has a glass fiber reinforced ferrule with a diameter of 2.5mm and a length of 6.4mm, which is slightly larger than an MTRJ connector. The MPO plug has a push-pull latch with sliding sleeve and two alignment pins at the end of the ferrule. This connector has been standardized in IEC-61754-7.

MTP (Multi-Fiber Termination Push-On) - The MTP connector is a further development of the MPO connector connection and a trademark of the US company US Conec. MTP connectors go further in the definitions of the standards even further than the MPO connector standard in order to improve the transmission quality or the contact a bit further. The biggest change is the shape of the guide pin. While an angled pin is used with MPO, a rounded pin is used with MTP. This has the advantage that the guide pin hole of the MPO / MTP socket is less stressed, can be reconnected more frequently and thus improves the contact of the individual fibers.

The optical ferrule in the inside of the plug of MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords is available mainly with three different types of ferrule polish, which is reflected in the transmission on the attenuation value of the optical connection. One differentiates between Physical Contact (PC polish), Ultra-Physical Contact (UPC polish) and Angled Physical Contact (APC 8° angle polish). The latter variant is only available with Single-mode MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords. Due to the minimal gap in the connection of MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords to the optical interface, there is a certain attenuation. To solve this problem and to minimize the overall attenuation of the connection, there are MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords with different polished ferrules. In general one can say the higher the return-loss attenuation the better the connection quality. For our example, the PC polish type MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cord leads to 40dB return-loss attenuation or higher, the UPC polish MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cord type leads to 50dB return-loss attenuation or higher and an APC polish MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cord type leads to 60dB return-loss attenuation or higher. The insertion loss should be less than 0.3dB. Here you can say, the lower the insertion loss, the better the performance.

BlueOptics MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords are manufactured in compliance with generally accepted industrial standards and norms and have an above-average lifetime. BlueOptics MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords also exceed standards and norms due to their properties. All BlueOptics MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords are designed for up to 1500 plug-in cycles and offer a very low input-loss as well as a very high return-loss. All BlueOptics MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords come in a flame-resistant LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheathing. This results in a very low smoke development compared to Patch Cords with a PVC sheathing. Furthermore, no halogen is released.

As a standard for the transmission of signals in a network today, BlueOptics MPO/MTP Trunk cable Fiber Patch Cords represent a way to build favorable high-availability connections in high-speed networks in hardware from different manufacturers.
