8 Cores 12Cores 24 Cores MPO MTP SM OM3 OM4 OM5 Data Center Cabling Fiber Optic Patch Cord
MTP/MPO-LC patch cords are essential for interconnections between MTP/MPO cassettes or connections to active equipment with MPO/MTP interfaces. These solutions are optimized for high-density data center environments. For MTP/MPO-LC connections through a coupler, specific male (with pins) and female configurations are utilized to ensure precise alignment.
| Item | LC, SC, ST, FC Parameters | MPO Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| End face type | PC, UPC and APC | PC and APC |
| Fiber type | SM(G652, G655, G657); MM(OM1-OM5) | |
| Insertion loss (dB) | ≤ 0.3 | Standard: ≤0.35/0.75; Low Loss: ≤0.2/0.35 |
| Return loss (Min) | UPC SM: 50dB; APC SM: 60dB; PC MM: 35dB | SM: APC 60dB, PC 50dB; MM: APC 30dB, PC 25dB |
| Operating Temp | -20ºC to +70ºC | |
| Storage Temp | -40ºC to +80ºC | |
| Fiber Type | Cable Type | Connector | Boot Size | Polishing | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SM: 9/125μm | Simplex (2-fiber) | Male (with pins) | 2.0mm | PC | Customized |
| MM: OM3/OM4/OM5 | Duplex / Ribbon | Female (no pins) | 3.0mm | APC | Customized |
Male MPO connectors have two alignment pins, while Female connectors have holes to accept those pins. This ensures precise fiber alignment during connection.
For high-speed data centers, OM3, OM4, and OM5 multi-mode fibers are commonly used for short distances, while Single-mode (G652D/G657A) is preferred for longer reaches.
Low Loss refers to "Elite" grade connectors that provide a maximum insertion loss of ≤0.35dB, compared to the standard ≤0.75dB, allowing for more connections in a single link.
Yes, we provide fully customized lengths and support Polarity Type A, Type B, and Type C fiber arrangements to match your network design.
Absolutely. MPO/MTP cabling is the standard interface for 40G (SR4) and 100G (SR4/SR10) Ethernet applications, providing the necessary high-density bandwidth.
Each cable undergoes end-face inspection, polarity testing, insertion loss and return loss measurement, and 3D interferometry testing to ensure geometric compliance.
