Fiber Optic MT and MTP / MPO Cable Assemblies Features & Benefits • Provides connectorized • • • • • • interface for ribbon or ribbonized fiber Connector alignment is made with precision alignment pins Fanouts to simplex fiber connectors available Low loss interconnect Push-pull mating of MTP* for quick connections NTT compatible Consistent and repeatable performance Applications • High density interconnects for: - Telephony central office and local loop - Data communications Provides interconnect for parallel optical transmitters and receivers • Molex MT and MTP connectorized ribbon fiber cable assemblies provide reliable high performance interconnects of up to 12 fibers in a minimum footprint. The MT connectors utilize the precision molded NTT compatible ferrule that connects 4 to 12 fibers using bare ribbon or ruggedized ribbon cable. Alignment between mating ferrules is accomplished using 2 precision guide pins that are pre-installed in a designated male connector. Two holes in the female connector locate the pins providing repeatable core to core alignment of the fibers. The MT ferrules are kept in the mated condition with the aid of a spring clip. The MTP assemblies utilize the same MT ferrules and package them in a push-pull keyed connector housing for quick and easy connection using the MTP adapter. Guide pins in the male connector maintain alignment with holes in the female connector while the adapter retains the connectors in the mated position. Back reflection for singlemode assemblies is controlled by using an 8 degree angle polishing process. Fanouts to single fiber leads connectorized with Molex industry standard SC, FC, and ST† connectors are available to interconnect with the current installed base of transmitters, receivers and patch panels. An "enhanced" version of the multifiber connector has been developed to provide a quick and reliable connection for multiple optical fibers. The "enhanced" connector is a more precise NTT compatible ferrule, connecting the fibers using bare ribbon or ruggedized ribbon cable. The "enhanced" version will incorporate the same footprint and alignment as the standard MT/MTP. This "enhanced" connector will solve customers needs for a high density solution with minimal insertion loss. The "enhanced" MTP housing is yellow and the MT ferrule is keyed with a yellow line. *MTP is a registered trademark of US Conec Ltd. †ST, STII are trademarks of Lucent Technologies Performance and Specifications Characteristics Insertion Loss: 9/125µm SM fiber 62.5/125µm MM fiber Enhanced 9/125µm SM fiber Return Loss: Singlemode Temperature Range Durability Units Min.
