MTP® jumpers enable effortless upgrades to higher transmission speeds in data centers when paired with our trunk cables. They are most often employed for patching operations inside a cabinet. MTP® cabling is a cost-effective substitute for labor-intensive field termination, designed for high-density fiber routing in facilities that require space efficiency and reduced cable management complexity.

OM5 fibers are fully compliant with industry standards, meeting all OM3 and OM4 criteria, along with an added requirement for Differential Mode Delay (DMD) to offset both modal and chromatic dispersion. They also feature additional bandwidth testing at 953 nm to support longer distances when using SWDM technology. OM5 fibers are suited for data centers needing rapid infrastructure deployment with extended reach while preserving bandwidth across the network.

Please note: US Conec MTP® connectors fully adhere to MPO standards, offering unique patented elements, improved precision, proven durability, and substantial performance gains over conventional MPO connectors.

MTP Jumper Cable Polarity

MTP®-16 Type A is a 16-fiber cable assembly that uses straight-through polarity. In this configuration, each fiber position at one connector end is aligned to the same numbered position at the opposite end (fiber 1 to fiber 1, fiber 2 to fiber 2, …, fiber 16 to fiber 16). The connectors are oriented in a key-up to key-down position, meaning the fiber sequence is maintained from end to end without reversal.
This polarity type is the most straightforward and is commonly used in parallel optics and structured cabling where direct one-to-one mapping is required.

Similarly, you can connect one 100G QSFP28 PSM4 optical module to four 25G SFP28 LR optical modules through an 8-core MPO/MTP to four duplex LC multimode breakout cable.

MTP Fiber Cable 100G-CFR&SR interconnection method

The solution is to connect from one 100G CFP optical module to another CFP using a 24-core MPO/MTP to 3×8-core MPO/MTP breakout cable.

MTP Fiber Cable 400G multi-mode connection

MTP Fiber Cable 400G-SR8 interconnection method

The 400G QSFP-DD SR8 optical module uses a standard MPO-16 connector to achieve 400G transmission. The transmission distance through multimode optical fiber can reach up to 70m (OM3) or 100m (OM4).

MTP Fiber Cable Application

High-speed interconnection in data centers

It is used for direct connection of 40G/100G optical modules, supports 400G high-speed transmission, and can improve wiring density and transmission efficiency. For example, 400G QSFP-DD DR4 optical modules can be directly connected through MPO/MTP-8 multimode fiber jumpers. ‌

High-density wiring scenarios

In the backbone wiring of data centers, MTP/MPO trunk fiber jumpers are used in conjunction with adapter modules to achieve interconnection and cross-connection between devices, saving 45% of wiring space. Branch jumpers are used to connect devices with different rates (such as 10G and 40/100G devices). ‌

100G/400G transmission expansion

Supports branch connection of 100G QSFP28 optical modules to 4 25G SFP28 optical modules, or interconnection of 100G CFP optical modules to another CFP. ‌

Fiber-to-Building Applications

It is used for fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) wiring to meet the needs of high-density fiber access.

MTP Fiber Cable Test Series

MTP Fiber Cable Polarity Test Process

‌End face cleaning: Use special equipment to remove end face contaminants to avoid affecting the test accuracy. ‌
Morphology detection: Analyze the end face microstructure through 3D imaging technology to detect surface roughness, scratches and other defects. ‌
Insertion loss test: Measure the contact loss between the fiber end face and the connector ferrule to evaluate the signal transmission quality. ‌
Polarity verification: Confirm the correspondence between the number of fiber cores and the connector guide hole to prevent communication failure caused by wrong connection. ‌

MTP Fiber Cable Test Key Indicators

Cleaning efficiency: It must reach more than 98% to ensure that there are no residual stains on the end face. ‌
‌Detection accuracy: The resolution of 3D morphology detection must be less than 1.5μ, and the insertion loss error must be controlled within 0.3dB. ‌
Test time: It takes about 10 seconds to detect a single fiber core of a 12-core MPO jumper, and the overall test takes about 2 minutes.

MTP Fiber Cable Test Common Problems

Pollution sensitivity: Tiny particles on the end face will cause increased loss, and non-contact cleaning methods are required to protect the end face. ‌ ‌
