Simplifying Fiber Connectivity: The Benefits of MTP®/MPO Fiber Cables

One significant advancement in fiber connectivity is the introduction of MTP®/MPO fiber cables. These innovative cables offer numerous benefits that simplify fiber connectivity and enhance network performance. Here are a few examples of how MTP®/MPO fiber cables simplify fiber connectivity, enhance network performance, and optimize your networking capabilities.

The Benefits of MTP®/MPO Fiber Cables

Simplify the Network Upgrade by MTP® Harness Cables

MTP®/MPO fiber cables are an excellent solution for addressing the challenges of technology upgrades and new installations in a data center. Take the MTP®/MPO harnesses as an example, the MTP®/MPO connector on one end allows for efficient connectivity to high-density equipment, while the break-outs of LC connectors on the other end enable compatibility with existing LC-based systems. MTP®/MPO harnesses allow for the reuse of existing LC-based systems to a seamless upgrading between existing 10G/25G systems and newer 40G/100G systems. This eliminates the need for extensive rewiring and equipment replacement, leading to cost savings and faster deployment.

Stable Transmission with Better Corning Fibers

Usually, MTP®/MPO fibers are made of bend-insensitive fiber (BIF) for bend resistance. FS MTP®/MPO fiber cables utilize Corning BIF, which can perform better bend resistance than standard fiber cables. Most standard fiber cables are susceptible to macro-bend attenuation (the bending of the fiber cable over a larger radius), which can cause optical power loss and reliability issues in the system. However, Corning's bend-insensitive fibers exceed industry standards for bend performance and comply with ITU-T Recommendations G.652.D and G.657. The fiber's core and cladding structure are optimized to reduce signal attenuation when the fiber cable is bent. Because of this, FS MTP®/MPO fiber cables with Corning bend-insensitive fibers can minimize signal losses and maintain stable transmission even when the fiber cable is subjected to bending or tight cable routing.

High-density Cabling with Multifiber Design

MTP®/MPO fiber cables revolutionize fiber connectivity by providing high-density solutions. Unlike traditional fiber connectors, which typically accommodate one or two fiber strands, MTP®/MPO connectors can house 8 to 24 fibers within a single connector. This high fiber count enables efficient data transmission and reduces the number of cables required in data centers, increasing cabling density by up to 24 times.

Streamlined Installation and Maintenance by MTP Cassettes

The use of MTP®/MPO fiber cables in combination with MTP®-LC/SC/MDC cassettes can simplify installation and management. MTP cassettes provide pre-assembled MTP®/MPO connectors and fiber distribution/reception units. Installers can easily connect and reconfigure fibers by simply plugging and unplugging MTP®-LC/SC/MDC cassettes on fiber panels or equipment, eliminating the need to individually install and connect each connector. This saves time and labor and improves the flexibility of cabling.

Conclusion

In conclusion, MTP®/MPO fiber cables simplify the network upgrade, providing stable transmission, high-density cabling, and streamlined installation and maintenance. By embracing these innovative cables, organizations can optimize their network performance and future-proof their infrastructure. It is time to explore the possibilities of MTP®/MPO fiber cables and unlock the true potential of your network connectivity.
