FiberStore introduces easy and affordable MTP fiber optic plug and play solution to meet the up-and-coming multi-fiber technology for fiber optic networks. The new MTP fiber systems is an innovatively group of products including MTP cassettes and cable assemblies, which is designed and introduced as a performance version of MPO connectors.
Muti-fiber technology is the up-and-coming standard for fiber optic network. Similar to the MTRJ connector, the MTP cassette is actually capable of holding a much higher amount of fibers: Up to 72 fibers in some circumstance!” said Thomas Cole, commercial manager for enterpriser cables at FiberStore. “MTP fiber optic plug and play system is introduced for applications that call for higher through-puts that standard fiber technology cannot handle.
MTP cassettes allow high-density connections between network equipment in telecommunication rooms. They use a simple push-pull latching mechanism for easy and intuitive insertion and removal. With MPT cassettes, patch can be easily migrated to 40GbE and 100GbE networks. The ends of MTP cassettes may be polished flat or at 8°angle, allowing for easy cable routing and proper bend radius. A MTP connector is about the same size as a standard connector but since it can accommodate 12 fibers, it provides up to 12 times the density, providing significant space and cost savings.
A standard MTP cassette has one port in the back with a MTP brand coupler awaiting connection of an MTP trank cable assembly that has 12 fibers in the connector. The MTP trank cable plugs into the back and through the adaptor. The MTP brand cable trunks offer the flexibility in case any decision is made to change the connector style in the patch panels, new cassettes can be installed with the new connector style on the cross-connect side of the patch panel without having to change the connector on the cable trunk.
The MTP brand connector lends itself well to fiber to the desktop situations where multiple networks need to be accessed by a single user. Installation time is cut down dramatically as one connection may provide the user with access to up to 6 networks.
FiberStore MTP cassettes and cable assemblies come pre-loaded and pre-assembled to your specification. Each individual cassette comes with test results that include insertion loss and return loss for both the MTP cassettes as well as the fan out to the SC or LC connectors.
