MPO connector: the core component of high-density fiber optic networks
With the rapid development of data centers and 5G networks, MPO (Multi fiber Push On) connectors have become a key component of modern fiber optic communication systems due to their high-density and high-efficiency characteristics. MPO connector is a multi-core fiber optic connector that can integrate 12 core, 24 core, or even 72 core fibers in a compact interface, significantly increasing wiring density and supporting high-speed data transmission of over 400Gbps.
Core Technology: Precision and Efficiency
The MPO connector adopts a precise alignment mechanism between guide pins and guide holes to ensure low loss connection of multi-core optical fibers (insertion loss ≤ 0.3dB), and its snap on design can achieve fast operation of "one push to connect". In addition, MPO supports single-mode and multi-mode optical fibers, and further reduces reflection loss through 8 ° slope polishing (APC type) to meet long-distance transmission requirements.
Application scenario: Driving digital transformation
Data center: MPO connectors are used for high-speed interconnection between servers and switches, supporting 100G/400G Ethernet transmission and saving over 70% of cabling space.
5G and Telecommunications Networks: MPO enables high-density fiber optic distribution in metropolitan area networks and fiber to the home (FTTH), reducing deployment costs.
High performance computing: providing low latency, high bandwidth fiber channels for supercomputers to accelerate data processing.
Industry Trends: Standardization and Upgrading
MPO connectors follow international standards such as IEC 61754-7, while MTP connectors ® As a high-performance version, the US Conec patent further optimizes optical alignment and durability, making it the preferred choice for high-end networks.
Maintenance suggestions
Experts remind MPO to regularly clean the end face and use specialized tools to avoid signal attenuation caused by dust. In 2025, with the launch of the 800G network pilot, MPO technology will continue to drive the upgrading of the global optical communication industry.
