FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS MTP* Backplane Interconnect System (BMTP) The Molex Backplane MTP* (BMTP) interconnect system is designed to offer an industry standard user interface with the versatility of a blind mating card edge connector. Based on the NTT MT ferrule and MTP push-pull ribbon fiber connector, the BMTP interconnect is a high density solution for today's space constrained fiber optic systems. The BMTP is Telcordia GR-1435-CORE compliant and is also designed to be compatible within the HDM electrical backplane interconnect system. The BMTP system utilizes units which contain 1 MT ferrule and 1 MTP connector interface. Units can be ganged together within the HDM stiffener bar along with robust single or dual stainless steel guide pins, offering single unit insertion for ease of manufacturing. The BMTP can be configured for either multimode or singlemode ribbon fiber by simply using the appropriate MT ferrule and MTP connector. The system also supports the MTP low loss high performance MT ferrule technology which offers improved singlemode performance. The BMTP interconnect can be incorporated into a total optical backplane solution when used in combination with optical flex circuitry. *MTP is a registered trademark of US Conec Ltd.
