Fiber optic patch cords are fiber optic cables that attach one device to another for signal routing. It compresses in the entire electric network plank and room that the wall plank and the flexibility cabinet need. Today I would like to introduce you MTP fiber optic patch cable.
MTP fiber optic patch cable is with the MTP fiber optic connectors, an upgraded version of the former MPO. MTP has better mechanical and better performance compared with MPO. Both the MTP and MPO series cables are multi-fiber connectors. There are many fiber optic channels in each single connector. Due to the feature of such multi-fiber, these connectors need to be used with multi-fiber cables, especially the ribbon multi-fiber optic cables.
Typical MTP/MPO fiber optic patch cord assemblies like MTP/MPO to 8 LC, MTP/MPO to 12 MT-RJ, etc. Both single-mode and multi-mode MPO ribbon patch cables are available and manufactured with various color-coded housings for easy identification. MPO fiber optic patch cord adopts precision molded MT ferrules, metal guide pins, and appropriate housing to provide optical fiber alignment. The push-pull design is utilized for easy mating and removal.
MTP/MPO are usually used in ribbon fiber optic patch cords or ribbon fan-out multi-fiber assemblies. Made of multi-fiber ribbon materials, the MPO ribbon patch cable is an ideal connecting tool for telecommunication systems, testing instruments, LAN and WAN systems, FTTX, etc. The MPO ribbon patch cable features removable housing, allowing easy replacement of pin clamps, ferrule clearing, and connector repolishing. Connection integrity is assured by the spring-action side latch housing. The ribbon fiber optic cables feature multi fiberglass inside each single jacket, MTP/MPO are also multi fiberglass cores inside each single connector, which means, there are several fiberglass connections in each single MTP/MPO fiber optic patch cord.
FS manufactures a full line of fiber optic patch cables. There are LC, SC, ST, FC, E2000, SC/APC, E2000/APC, MU, VF45, MT-RJ, MPO/MTP, FC/APC, ST/APC, LC/APC, E2000, DIN, D4, SMA, ESCON, FDDI and DIN Fiber Optic Patch Cables, which classified by connector types. In addition to standard patch cords, Fiberstore also provides several kinds of specialty patch cords, such as ribbon fan-out cords, MTP / MPO patch cords, mode conditioning patch cords, armored patch cords, and waterproof pigtails.
Though there are so many types of fiber optic patch cords, I am going to suggest a buying guide to help you select the correct fiber patch cable that meets your demand.
