MPO System

The system is a factory pre-terminated and tested solution with a high density MPO connector at its core. The MPO connector contains 12 fibres in the standard version. This provides 6 x Duplex Channels compared to a standard system with multiple duplex connectors. Recent developments with this connector have resulted in a version with 72 fibres in the same connector. This is the highest density available today on the market. The obvious benefits are less space required and a much better scalability. The system is fully compliant to TIA/EI942 and EN 50173-5, which are specific data Centre standards. All current applications such as 1 & 10 Gigabit, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand can be support by this system.

Key Facts

Fully supports all optical fiber applications such as Fiber Channel, InfiniBand, Ethernet
Modular solution features reusable cassettes and cables
Higher-density MPO solutions for even greater density - up to 72-fiber MPO
High-density cabling saves pathway space with improved airflow compared to traditional cable bundles
MPO technology allows less power consumption than common fiber systems

How it works

Cables are pre-terminated in the factory to the correct length with high-density connectivity
Place or pull the cables into pathways, plug in the MPO connectors and finish links with patch cords as necessary
MPO can be directly plugged to end equipment with high-density interfaces
MPO can be plugged to rack-mountable cassettes or patch panels that fan out to standard-density connectivity ports
MPO save rack space and floor space
High-density cabling saves pathway space with improved airflow compared to traditional cable bundles
