MPO connector

An MPO (Multi-position Optica) connecter is a multi-fiber optic Interconnecting device and passive component with the size of a fingernail and contains 12 optical fibers, each less than the diameter of a human hair and each one needs to be tested separately. It's main use is for preterminated cable assemblies and cabling systems. This connector is sometimes called a MTP which is used by US Conec to describe their connectorters. The US Conec MTP product is fully compliant with the MPO standards. So the MTP connector is an MPO connector. MTP/MPO assemblies utilize a push-pull connector housing for a quick and reliable connection. For optical device interconnections, MTP/MPO assemblies interface on the daughter card to Molex’s HBMT and BMTP adapters on the backplane.
