Distribution frame interconnection: In high-density ODF (fiber optic distribution frame), MPO connectors can reduce wiring space (under the same number of cores, the occupied area is only 1/10 of the LC connector), simplify wiring management, and reduce the difficulty of operation and maintenance
First, the core purpose of the
MPO connector is to solve the problem of connection efficiency in high-density fiber optic environment. The main application scenarios include:
Data center cabling
supports high-rate transmission (such as 400G/800G Ethernet). It is used for the connection of trunk optical cables and equipment (switches, servers) in the computer room, and greatly improves the bandwidth density through 12-core/24-core parallel transmission.
is suitable for the interconnection between high-density distribution frames (ODF) and optical modules (such as QSFP-DD, OSFP), reducing the wiring space occupation.
Second, the trunk optical cable connection
is used for long-distance trunk optical cables (12-core, 16-core, 18-core, 22-core, 24-core, 48-core, 96-core)
Third, fiber optic testing and system integration
In the fiber optic link test, as a fast connection interface for multi-core optical fibers, cooperate with the test instrument to realize the loss, polarization and other parameters detection of batch core numbers.
is integrated into optical modules, active optical cables (AOC), passive optical cables (POD) and other components to meet the internal interconnection needs of high-density equipment.
Four male and female head Type:
Male (Male): The end face of the ferrule has 2 stainless steel guide pins (diameter 0.7mm) for precise positioning;
Female (Female): The end face of the ferrule has a corresponding guide hole, which needs to be paired with the male head to avoid mismatch damage
Five, the ferrule material: the mainstream is ceramic (zirconia), with high hardness and low wear characteristics; some industrial scenes are made of metal to improve impact resistance.
Six, size: standard ferrule length 12mm, width 3.2mm (12-core single column), the overall connector outer diameter is about 6.4mm, and the miniaturized design is suitable for high-density environments.
