Multi-Mode Adapter Description:
Multi-fiber push on connectors, or MPOs for short, are fiber connectors incorporating multiple optical fibers. These connectors are found primarily in data center environments for consolidating multiple fibers in backbone cabling and supporting parallel optics applications that transmit and receive signals over multiple fibers to achieve higher speeds.
Multi-Mode Adapter Features:
Good exchangeability and durability
High temperature stability
All parts compliant with ROHS
Polytypic
MPO connectors come in male (with pins) and female (without pins) for proper mating to avoid damaging the fibers. Note that all MPO equipment ports are male, so any MPO cable that connects to equipment must have a female connector. MPO connectors are also keyed and feature a white dot to denote the first fiber position, which helps ensure proper polarity where each transmit fiber corresponds to the right receive fiber. The key location varies across different MPO connectors; 8-, 12-, and 24-fiber MPOs have the key in the center, while 16- and 32-fiber MPO connectors have the key offset to the left.
Applications:
Test equipment
Passive optical fiber network
Data processing network
Telecommunication network
CATV, LAN, WAN
