Fiber Optic Cabling Termination MTP-MPO Styles
In June 2010, the IEEE released the 802.3ba 40- and 100-Gigabit Ethernet standards for OM3 and OM4 multimode fibers. To achieve these speeds, parallel optics is required, where the load is split into separate 10-Gigabit channels. A 40-Gig channel requires eight fibers with four transmitting at 10 Gig and four receiving at 10 Gig. A 100-Gig channel requires 20 fibers with 10 fibers transmitting at 10 Gig and 10 receiving at 10 Gig.
The connector required for both is the MTP/MPO 12-fiber connector. Those anticipating moving to 40- or 100-Gigabit Ethernet would be wise to use MTP/MPO-style connectors today.
A 40-Gigabit quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) module is designed to split the data load among multiple fibers using an MTP /MPO connector and ribbon fiber assembly. Compliant with SFF-8436, the QSFP features independent transmitter and receiver sections, each with four fibers in parallel. It supports MPO-based multimode fiber interconnects with a transmission distance of up to 150 meters over OM3 multimode fiber. There are basically three ways to field install MTP/MPO fiber assemblies.
- Installing factory preterminated MTP/MPO assemblies.
- Fusion splicing factory preterminated MTP/MPO pigtails onto 12-strand ribbon fiber.
- Installing no-epoxy/no-polish MTP/MPO connectors.
Because the technology is rather new and relatively complex, installing factory preterminated MTP/MPO assemblies is currently the best option. Presently, only one manufacturer offers a field installable MTP/MPO connector, and because this is a relatively new and complex technology, most industry experts agree that it is prudent to take a "wait-and-see" approach with this system. In fact, due to their complexity, most fiber cable assembly houses do not even make MTP/MPO assemblies.
Factory preterminated MTP/MPO assemblies can be ordered in custom lengths with pulling socks and pulling eyes on each end. The fact that they have only one (or sometimes two) heads on each end facilitates the small size and rigidity of each pulling sock. Therefore as a general rule, factory preterminated MTP/MPO assemblies are very resilient to forces that they may encounter during a pull.
