MTP 24 Jumper

MTP® jumpers support smooth transitions to greater data rates in data centers when used alongside our trunk cables. They are generally applied for patching tasks inside a cabinet. MTP® cabling provides a budget-friendly replacement for time-consuming on-site termination, designed for high-density fiber connections in data centers requiring space optimization and simplified cable organization.

MTP®-24 is perfectly suited for 20-fiber parallel multimode optical transceiver deployments, such as 100G CFP SR10 and 100G CXP SR10 link setups.

Please note: US Conec MTP® connectors fully meet MPO specifications, delivering exclusive patented features, superior accuracy, proven dependability, and notable performance advantages over typical MPO connectors.

MTP Patch Cable Polarity

The MTP® 24-fiber Type A male connector is a high-density fiber optic connector designed to support ultra-fast data transmission in modern data centers. Type A polarity is known as the straight-through configuration, meaning that each fiber position on one connector aligns directly with the same fiber position on the opposite connector.
For example:
Fiber 1 ↔ Fiber 1
Fiber 2 ↔ Fiber 2
…
Fiber 24 ↔ Fiber 24
This polarity ensures simple and direct mapping of transmit (Tx) to receive (Rx) paths when used with appropriate patch cords or polarity management in structured cabling systems.
As a male connector, the plug features two guide pins to ensure precise alignment when mated with a female connector, maintaining low insertion loss and consistent optical performance.

MTP 24 Jumper SPIN-LEAF connection method

MTP 24 Jumper 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 24 Jumper Test Series

MTP 24 Jumper 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 24 Jumper 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 24 Jumper 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. ‌ ‌
