Introduction to Inspection and Cleaning of MTP Connectors
At present, the biggest issue with MTP solutions surrounds the ability to inspect and clean the connectors adequately to ensure desired performance levels are achieved.
Generally speaking, there are 3 major differences between inspecting and cleaning an MTP connector when compared to common used LC, FC or SC connectors.
First, the MTP ferrule is flat across its entire surface as opposed to a standard connector which is conical. This means that any contaminants anywhere on the ferrule end face (and not just close to the fibers as in standard connectors) will affect the quality of the connection. What’s more, the male MTP connector has guide pins close to the fibers (fiber no. 1 and fiber no. 12) which make cleaning more difficult. In addition, the MTP connector can be housed inside a bulkhead/adaptor which means accessing the ferrule can be difficult.
The MTP connectors can only be properly cleaned using the recommended cleaning tool - the MTP IBC® Cleaning Tool. Sopto can provide such cleaning tool, if you have interests, welcome to send your inquiry to sissiy@sopto.com.
