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.

What you need to know about MTP^®/MPO connectors and Rosenberger OSI

• Thanks to an initiative undertaken by IBM, Rosenberger OSI was Europe’s first manufacturer of MTP^® cabling systems as far back as 1997.
• We are one of Europe’s largest producers of assembled MTP^® cables and, even today, we remain one of the very few^® manufacturers worldwide to be qualified by IBM.
• MTP^® = “Mechanical Transfer Push-On” is a registered trademark of US Conec Ltd. and has been available on the market since 1997.
• It has been standardized in IEC 61754-7 as MPO = “Multifiber Push-On” or “Multipath Push-On” since 2000.
• MTP^® / MPO is a connector system constructed around the MT = “Mechanical Transfer” ferrule standardized in IEC 61754-5
• MT ferrules manufactured from composite materials were developed by NTT in the late 80s and are now in very widespread use.
