What is the difference between MPO and MTP optical fiber connection?

MTP connector belongs to MPO connector.

MTP connector is called high performance MPO connector.

MTP connector is a high-performance MPO connector with many innovative designs. Compared with the general MPO connector, MTP optical fiber connector has been strengthened in optical performance and mechanical performance. MTP connectors fully meet all professional standards of MPO connectors, including EIA/TIA-604-5 FOCIS 5 and IEC-6 1754-7.

MPO connector is an industrial standard MTP connector, which can be paired with each other, which means that it is feasible to replace MPO connector with MTP connector to obtain better performance. The performance of most MPO connectors with old designs is quite limited, and they cannot provide the same high performance as MTP optical fiber connectors.

Extended data

MTP connectors are called high-performance MPO connectors because:

Compared with MPO connector, specially designed MTP connector improves performance and usability. This design feature of MTP is unique and protected by patent. The main features are as follows:

The external frame and MTP optical fiber connector of 1 can be easily removed.

MT ferrule design can ensure that the performance will not be lost during rework and regrinding in production. Yin and Yang Can can be flexibly changed even in the field after assembly, and the ferrule can pass interference detection after assembly.

2. The floating ferrule of 2.MTP optical fiber connector can improve the transmission performance during mechanical docking. It can make two connectors keep good physical contact under the influence of external force.

3. The oval guide pin of MTP optical fiber connector is made of stainless steel, which can improve the docking accuracy, reduce the wear of the guide hole, and make MTP optical fiber connector maintain high-performance transmission more permanently.

4. There is a metal pin clip in the MTP optical fiber connector to fix the push ring.
