Nowadays, the effective utilization of fiber bandwidth has been made possible owing to various optical products of high quality. Take fiber optic patch cables for example, they allow for high-speed data transmission while ensuing data accuracy and transmission security. Certainly, the connectors, coupled with optical patch cables, function well in networking system. Maybe you are unfamiliar with optical connectors. The following passages will describe optical connectors in details.

An optical fiber connector terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. Fiber optical connectors are sophisticated devices and they serve as terminators at the end of fibers

An optical fiber connector composes of a ferrule and a body. A ferrule is intended to hold the ends of fiber. It is because of this thin structure that a fiber connector can couple and align the core of fibers. A body is generally in metal, ceramic, or plastic structure. This part attaches the connector to the jacket to achieve connection so that light can pass through the fibers.

Good coupling mechanism technologies are applied in the manufacturing process of optical connectors, which areendowed with several features:

• Low insertion loss
• High return loss (low amounts of reflection at the interface)
• Ease of installation and use
• Reliability
• Low environmental sensitivity

There are many kinds of optical connectors available in telecommunication market. MPO, MTP and ST are three widely used connectors. MPO is the industry acronym for "multi fiber push on”. MPO connectors are most commonly defined by two different documents. One is IEC-61754-7, the commonly sited standard for MPO connectors internationally. The other is EIA/TIA-604-5, also known as FOCIS 5, the most common standard sited for in the US.

MTP is a registered trademark of US Conec. In fact, MTP connector is a high performance MPO connector engineered for better mechanical and optical performance. It is in complete compliance with all MPO connector standards including the EIA/TIA-604-5 FOCIS 5 and the IEC-61754-7. The following image shows an overview of a MTP/MPO connector.

MTP/MPO-type connectors are applicable in both trunk cables and harness cables. For instance, MTP/MPO trunk cables are designed for high density application which offers excellent benefits in terms on-site installation time and space saving.

MTP/MPO harness cables, also called MTP/MPO breakout cables or MTP/MPO fanout cables, work from trunk backbone assemblies to fiber rack system in the high density backbone cabling. Terminated with connectors on both ends, these cable assemblies can meet a variety of fiber cabling requirements.

Fiber optical connectors play an important role in networking connection and light transmission. They have gained even more popularity among consumers. In Fiberstore, you can find various types of connectors. ST, SC, LC, FC, D4, DIN, MU connectors are all available, besides the above-mentioned MTP/MPO connectors.
