With data centers rapidly growing cloud computing , cloud storage applications such as the gradual penetration of various industries, network communication bandwidth requirements also will increase rapidly, while the high-speed high-capacity high-bandwidth often requires more space for higher costs, which exist this long-term contradiction, MTP / MPO fiber optic wiring standards has become a high-density high-bandwidth currently the best solution program . MTP and MPO exist two kinds of fiber optic connection systems on the market today, they are very similar, compatible with each other to some extent, that they really tell the difference.
Of MPO ( the Multi -fiber the Pull Off) is designed for the Japanese NTT Communications first generation shrapnel clamping type multi-core optical connectors, the name of several companies now produce a multi-pin connector head. The MTP, by the United States USConec company registered the brand, specifically refers to the production of unique MPO connector type.
What is the MPO connector?
MPO is a "multi-fiber pull off" the abbreviation. This connector ferrule has more than one core, mechanically snap into place.
Now on the market a variety of MPO various manufacturers have designed different types of connectivity products, performance and cost are very different. Some product features of its performance is more prominent, and some MPO connector can be matched with many different brands of products, but some are not, depending on which Intermateability these connectors are designed with standard products how close. MPO connector full definition, refer to the implementation of IEC-61754-7 and EIA / TIA-604-5 (aka FOCIS 5).
What is MT ferrule?
MT即机械式的对接传输，插芯为多芯数(通常是12芯)。连接器的性能由光纤对准精度决定，以及对准精度在连接后是否能持续稳定。最终，这个对准精度是由光纤的偏心率和间距以及导引针和光纤的匹配精准度来决定的。如果在生产过程中能降低导针和成型工艺的偏差，任何一个MPO连接器的性能都能有所提高。
什么是MTP?光纤连接器?
MTP连接器是一种具有多重创新设计的高性能的MPO连接器，相对于一般的MPO连接器来说，MTP光纤连接器在光学性能和机械性能上都得到了加强。MTP连接器完全符合所有MPO连接器的专业标准，包括EIA/TIA-604-5 FOCIS 5 和IEC-61754-7。
MPO型连接器是符合行业标准的互可配对的MTP连接器，这意味用MTP连接器更换MPO连接器来获得更好的性能是可行的。大部分沿用旧款设计的MPO连接器的性能是相当有限的，无法提供跟MTP光纤连接器一样的高性能。
MTP连接器为什么被描述为高性能的MPO连接器?
通过特殊设计的MTP连接器其性能和可用性较MPO连接头均有提高。MTP的这种设计特征是独一无二且受专利保护的。主要特征如下：
1、MTP光纤连接器的外框套散件可方便移除。
MT插芯设计可在生产时的返工和重新研磨时能确保性能不受损失。阴阳性在组装后甚至在现场可灵活的改变，插芯组装后可过干涉检测。
2、MTP光纤连接器浮动的插芯可提高机械对接时的传输性能。可允许两个连接器在外力的影响下使相互匹配的插芯能保持良好的物理接触。
3、MTP光纤连接器的椭圆导针(PIN)采用的是不锈钢材质，椭圆导针能提高对接的精度，并且降低对导孔的磨损，使得MTP光纤连接器更持久地保持高性能传输。
4、MTP光纤连接器内有一个金属针夹用以固定推环。具体特征：
防止导针丢失;
集中弹簧所产生的压力;
防止弹簧在机械伸缩过程中触碰摩擦光纤导致光纤损坏;
5, the spring MTP fiber optic connector design to maximize the gap 12 the strip core and multicore optical fiber ribbon applications to prevent damage.
6, MTP fiber optic connector having at least four standard matching parts, can be adapted to different types of cable, more practical, which comprises:
Round cable loose structure;
The ribbon cable is outside the ellipse;
Bare fiber ribbon;
Short tail cuff connector parts is very suitable for application in a small space, reducing the volume of 45%.
MT ferrule using conventional way to clean it?
The best way to influence the optical performance of the cleaning of dust and oil using an advanced MT ferrule dry cloth to clean components, such as the NTT-AT OPTIPOP, the cleaning method is very simple since only relates to a single channel. When the above-described cleaning assembly contaminants are completely removed, using low-quality opposite cloth or cotton swab to remove contaminants while the fiber surface, but still there is an edge soiling of the ferrule, the ferrule face wear and easy to make, severely data loss.
OPTIPOP series cleaning assembly is designed to Yin Yang optical fiber connector, a ferrule may be applied to a single core. OPTIPOP cartridge and cassette cleaner using a supplement can replace the cleaning cloth, cleaning can be long-term use than traditional cleaning methods, the lower cleaning costs.
