With the continuous increase of network throughput, 40G networks have become common and 100G networks have been widely used. At this time, traditional LC cabling cannot meet the high speed and high density requirements of data centers. In this case, it becomes very important to obtain a higher transmission rate and find a suitable solution for high-density wiring. However, the emergence of MTP/MPO connectivity standards and MTP/MPO related products is indeed good news for high-density cabling, for example, it can not only replace 12 or 24 LC connectors at the same time, but also has an MPO/MTP connection. Therefore, it is the perfect solution for high-performance data transmission. This article will focus on the importance and advantages of MTP/MPO pods in high-density cabling environments.
MTP/MPO pods dominate the high-density cabling environment. As a high-density, pre-terminated fiber optic device, MTP/MPO pods are flexible to deploy and can not only provide transitions between MTP/MPO connectors and LC or SC connectors. To help high-density networks to achieve rapid deployment, it can also reduce the installation time and cost of optical networks. In addition, MTP/MPO cassettes are commonly used in MDA (Main Distribution Area), IDC (Internet Data Center) or EDA (Equipment Distribution Area) wiring areas for fiber backbone connection and wiring management, and also for MTP/MPO distribution. The cable boxes are mounted in FHD series rack or wall cabinets for capacity expansion. The following figure shows the internal structure of the MTP/MPO distribution box. It can be seen that the front of the distribution box is equipped with a 12xLC duplex adapter connector and the back end is equipped with a 1xMTP adapter connector, which can ensure the best performance of the connection while reducing the installation time
Why is the MTP/MPO cassette important?
1. Simple installation/saving installation time: MTP/MPO distribution box is a pre-terminated product, and uses a push-pull mechanism to facilitate the insertion and removal of the cable, and can also eliminate unpredictable terminal failure. It is estimated that the installation time of the MPO/MTP distribution box can be reduced by 75% compared to the traditional fiber cabling system.
2. Easy to maintain and manage: MTP/MPO distribution box can adapt to changing cabling environment. When the connector changes, only need to replace the cable, while other basic equipment of the network does not change, so MTP/MPO distribution The cable box is easier to maintain and manage, and security risks are lower.
3. High density: Since the MTP/MPO connector can accommodate 12/24 core fibers, it can provide 12/24 times the density, which can save wiring space while increasing the wiring density.
4. Cost Savings: As mentioned above, MTP/MPO boxes are easy to install and do not require additional installers to install them professionally, thus significantly reducing installation costs.
5. Scalability: The MTP/MPO distribution box adopts a modular design and can be quickly connected to devices with various rates such as 10G/40G/100G. This facilitates reconfiguration when the network is operated and expanded. It is very important.
