MTP Jumpers

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 Patch Cable Polarity

The MTP® 24-fiber Type B male connector is designed for high-density parallel optical transmission in data centers and enterprise networks. Unlike Type A (straight-through), Type B polarity uses a reversed (flipped) configuration, meaning that the fiber positions are mirrored from one end to the other.
In practice, Fiber 1 on one connector maps to Fiber 24 on the opposite connector, Fiber 2 maps to Fiber 23, and so on. This crossed polarity ensures that transmit (Tx) signals from one device are correctly aligned with receive (Rx) signals on the other device, which is essential for duplex and parallel optics communication.
As a male connector, the MTP® 24-fiber Type B plug includes two guide pins that guarantee precise alignment with a female connector, delivering stable optical performance and low insertion loss.

mtp 24 jumper Polarity Example (Simplified):

Fiber 1 ↔ Fiber 24
Fiber 2 ↔ Fiber 23
…
Fiber 12 ↔ Fiber 13
Fiber 13 ↔ Fiber 12
…
Fiber 24 ↔ Fiber 1
This flipped arrangement supports parallel optics and is widely adopted in 100G/200G/400G Ethernet links.

MTP Jumpers Data Center Solutions

MTP Jumpers 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 Jumpers Test Series

MTP Jumpers 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 Jumpers 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 Jumpers 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. ‌ ‌
