MTP/MPO connectors (female/male) are used to terminate MTP/MPO trunk cables, which come in counts ranging from 8 to 144 fibers. These multifiber MTP/MPO trunk cables are frequently the best choice for building a structured cabling system, including the backbone and horizontal connectors like 40G-40G and 100G-100G direct connections.

How to choose the right MTP/MPO fiber cables for your transceivers?
Step 1: Choose the correct connectors for MTP/MPO Connector: MTP Female, Male; MPO Female, Male.
Step 2: Choose single mode or multimode, it depends on the Transmission distance, if it is long-distance, you have to choose the single mode. Single mode: OS2 9/125µm Multimode: OM4 50/125µm, OM3 50/125µm.
OS2 9/125µm, long-distance
Wavelength: 1310/1550nm
Transmission Distance: Long distance
OM3 50/125µm, short distance
Wavelength: 850/1300nm
Transmission Distance:100m at 40/100G, 300m at 10G
OM4 50/125µm, short distance
Wavelength: 850/1300nm
Transmission Distance: 150m at 40/100G, 400m at 10G
Step 3: Choose fiber count. Simplex fiber optic cable (A single fiber), Duplex fiber optic cable (2 fibers in a single cable, Zip Cord), Multi-Fiber cables, custom configurations, common are 4 fiber, 6 fiber, 8 fiber, 12 fiber, 24 fiber, 48 fiber, 72 fiber, 144 fiber, 256 fiber. Higher fiber counts are normally terminated as a MTP/MPO Trunk cables, using MTP/MPO connectors.
8F mainly used for 40G/100G QSFP+/QSFP28 direct connection.
12-144F mainly used for 10G/40G/100G high-density structural fiber cabling.
Step 4: There are 3 types of MPO trunk cable, called Polarity A(Straight), Polarity B(Reversed), and Polarity C(Pair Flipped), no matter which type is chosen, must make sure that the transmitter Chanel is linked to the receiver channel.
The fiber cores at both ends of the jumper are arranged in the same position, that is, 1 at one end corresponds to 1 at the other end, and 12 at one end corresponds to 12 at the other end. The keys at both ends are in opposite directions, and key up corresponds to key down.
The positions of the cores at both ends of the jumper are opposite, that is, 1 at one end corresponds to 12 at the other end, and 12 at one end corresponds to 1 at the other end. The key orientations at both ends are the same, that is, key up corresponds to key up, and key down corresponds to key down.
The C-type MPO jumper is a pair of adjacent core positions crossed, that is, the core 1 at one end corresponds to 2 at the other end, and the core 12 at one end is 11 at the other end. The key keys at both ends are also oriented in the opposite direction, and key up corresponds to key down.
Step 5: Choose Jacket material type, PVC jacket, LSZH jacket, and Armored Jacket, Customer specified.
Step 6: According to your needs, decide the cable length you’ll use. You need to know the distance between your devices and then decide the cable length you’ll use. The most common lengths are 1/2/3/5/10/15/30/50/100m, the cable length also can be customized.
