Currently, migration to 40G/100G networks has become a popular and compelling trend for data center cabling systems, entailing the search for greater bandwidth and higher density of fiber optic connectivity in data centers and optical networks. Balancing high capacity and low power consumption is a major challenge. Fortunately, MTP/MPO cabling technology offers a constructive and reliable solution for achieving better network performance. This article introduces some essential components of this cabling solution.
MTP/MPO trunk cable
MTP/MPO trunk cables connect modules as a permanent link. Trunk cables are available with 12, 24, 48, and 72 fibers. Typically used to connect cassettes, panels, or rugged MPO fanouts, they enable rapid deployment of high-density backbone cabling in data centers and other high-fiber environments. They also offer considerable flexibility and convenience when you need to change the connector style in the patch panels. Instead of changing the connector on the cable harness, simply install a new cassette with the new connector style on the cross-connect side of the patch panel. The advantages of MTP/MPO trunk cables generally include:
High-quality MTP/MPO trunk cables are pre-terminated, tested, and packaged at the factory along with test reports. These reports serve as long-term documentation and quality control.
Reduce cable length - These trunk cables have very small diameters, which reduce cable volume and improve air conditioning conditions in data centers.
Time-saving: The special plug-and-play design allows MTP/MPO trunk cables to be integrated and plugged in immediately. This significantly reduces installation time.
MTP/MPO breakout cable
MTP/MPO breakout cables provide a transition from multifiber cables to single fibers or duplex connectors. Known as an MTP/MPO harness or fan-out cable, the MTP/MPO breakout cable has a single MTP connector at one end that breaks into 6 or 12 connectors. These connector types can be LC, SC, ST, etc. It is available in 4-, 6-, 8-, or 12-fiber ribbon configurations with lengths of approximately 10, 20, 30 meters, and other custom lengths. Breakout cables provide a reliable and cost-effective cabling system for migrating from legacy 10G to higher-speed 40G/100G Ethernet. The following are the advantages of MTP/MPO breakout cables:
Easy Deployment - The manufacturer-completed system saves installation and network reconfiguration time.
Space saving – The active equipment and backbone cable are good for saving space.
Easy development – The manufacturer-finished system saves installation and network reconfiguration time.
Reliability-High standard components are used in the manufacturing process to guarantee product quality.
MTP/MPO fiber optic adapter patch panel
To effectively address the problem of cabling congestion associated with 40G/100G network connections, the use of a high-density fiber patch panel has proven to be an ideal choice. The MTP/MPO fiber optic adapter patch panel is designed to ensure flexibility and ease of network deployment, facilitating the migration from a 10G to a 40/100G infrastructure. It is used in high-density network applications for cross-connects in main distribution, horizontal distribution, and equipment distribution areas. This fiber optic adapter patch panel ensures efficient space utilization, rapid deployment, and maximum reliability at the lowest installed cost. This, in turn, ensures a high return on investment.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that the MTP/MPO cabling system indeed provides an ideal solution for high-density network infrastructures, easing the difficulties of migrating to the 40/100G network.
