MPO/MTP cabling solution is an efficient data center cabling solution suitable for high-speed, high-density, and structured cabling requirements.
The main advantages of MPO/MTP cabling solutions include:
Stability and durability: The sleeve design of MTP connectors reduces the possibility of signal instability and improves durability.
High density and scalability: MTP connectors comply with the Telcordia standard and can carry more fiber in limited space environments. For example, LC duplex connections in a 1U chassis can accommodate 144 core fibers, while MTP can accommodate 864 fibers, which is nearly six times the number of the former.
Time saving and worry free: Compared with traditional LC wiring, MTP wiring can greatly shorten installation time. If plug and play pre installed cables are used, the entire installation process will be more time-saving and worry free, and the maintenance costs in the later stage will also be lower.
Network upgrade preparation: MTP cabling can be used for direct connections from 10G to 40G/100G/200G/400G, as well as for upgrades and upstream connections, making it an economical and reliable choice.
In specific application scenarios, MTP/MPO cabling solutions support multiple connection methods, including 8-core to 8-core connections, 20 core or 24 core connections, and Base-8 MTP/MPO fiber optic cables with duplex parallel fiber connections. These solutions are suitable for high-speed network environments, such as 800G and 400G networks, providing high density, high bandwidth, and flexibility, enhancing the richness and flexibility of network construction. For example, the 16 core MTP backbone fiber optic cable is designed for direct optical connection of 800G QSFP-DD/OSFP DR8 and 800G OSFP XDR8, supporting 800G transmission in ultra large scale data centers. In addition, MTP/MPO cabling also supports interconnection from 800G to 8x100G, as well as network upgrades from 400G to 800G. The ability to directly connect one 800G optical module and two 400G optical modules can more effectively utilize cabling space, thereby saving cabling costs.
Overall, MPO/MTP cabling solutions provide reliable connectivity solutions for data centers and network architectures through their high density, high bandwidth, and flexibility, especially in application scenarios that require high-speed data transmission, demonstrating significant advantages.
