MTP®/MPO Connector

 

The MTP®/MPO is a low-loss multifiber connector with a maximum of up to 72 fibers, based on n x 12-fiber MT ferrules, with cable ports and kink protection for round cables. Multimode MTP®/MPO connectors are cut according to the global standard PC 0°, while singlemode connectors are cut to the habitual market value of APC 8° in order to achieve a higher return loss.

 

Features

  • Multifiber connector
  • Spring-mounted ferrule, centered via pins
  • 4, 8, 12, 16 or 24 fibers
  • Push-pull locking mechanism
