Optical MTP/MPO Equipment
MTP/MPO connectors are low-loss multi-fibre connectors that can accommodate up to 144 fibres. These connectors are standardised as multimode connectors PC = 0° and singlemode connectors APC = 8° to achieve high return loss. These connectors are typically used in SAN networks (e.g. databases and data centres) and in LAN networks.
We supply both MTP12 and MTP24 in the premium Elite version with a maximum insertion loss of 0.35 dB. The number at the end indicates the number of fibres. This enables maximum packing densities and virtually eliminates the possibility of wires being mixed up, especially as these connectors are also protected against twisted insertion by a key.
MTP®/MPO accessories
We offer matching trunk cables or fanout cables, as well as matching adapters for the connectors.
- The trunk is simply a cable with MTP®/MPO connectors at both ends.
- Fanout cables have an MTP connector at one end and individual connectors of a different type, e.g. LC/PC, at the other end.
What you need to consider with trunk cables
It is important to note which polarity is required, as these are available in 3 versions.
- Polarity A is connected straight through.
- Polarity B twists the fibres across the entire connector.
- Polarity C twists each pair of adjacent fibres.
It should also be noted that a male connector must be connected to a female connector, as otherwise a connection cannot be established (male to male) or only with an inadequate connection (female to female). We also offer suitable adapters for this purpose, which also offer the option of rotation, depending on the model selected.

Fibre Optic MTP®/MPO Equipment
This technology, based on multimode fibre optic cabling, enables high-performance data networks thanks to minimal insertion loss and maximum return loss. With the MPO (Multi-Fibre Push-On) / MTP® (Mechanical Transfer Push-On) multi-fibre connector, data rates of up to 100 Gbit/s are currently possible over distances of up to 150 m (OM4) or 100 m (OM3).
Advantage:
Thanks to the high fibre density of these fibre-optic bundle cables – ranging from 4 to 144 fibres in a single cable – the overall cable volume is significantly reduced. This not only frees up more space but also creates much better conditions for climate control and results in a lower fire load.
The trunk cables and fan-out cables offered here, ranging from 8 to 24 fibres, are available in the premium Elite version with a maximum insertion loss of 0.35 dB.
All MTP®/MTO connectors offered here are genuine connectors manufactured by US Conec.
Our current range
MTP/MPO trunk cable
The MTP/MPO trunk cables we offer are available here in singlemode OS2 and multimode OM3 or OM4 versions, enabling maximum data rates of 40 Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s over distances of up to 150 metres using multimode fibre.
These pre-assembled trunk cables (patch cables) with an MTP female connector are suitable for 850 nm 40G QSFP. The plug-and-play principle makes them easy to install, and their high-quality construction ensures they are fully protected against environmental influences.
MTP/MPO Fanout Cables
Our fanout cables (harness cables) feature an MTP® connector on one end and simplex or duplex LC/PC connectors on the other. This allows the signal to be distributed to various devices, switches or ports.
MTP/MPO installation cables
The MTP/MPO installation cables we offer are designed as loose-tube cables. In this type of cable, the fibre-reinforced strands are encased in a waterproof gel to protect them from environmental influences. In addition, the cable features rodent protection, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The cables are available from us in the multimode OM3 and OM4 variants as trunk cables (patch cables) or fan-out cables (harness cables).
These installation cables are fitted with cable protection and pull-in aids at both ends.
For lengths of 100 metres or more, these installation cables are supplied on a disposable drum.
MTP/MPO Adapters
These adapters allow you to connect MTP cables or connectors. We offer adapters for two different connector types: the Key-up to Key-up variant and the Key-up to Key-down variant.

Frequently asked questions
These connectors offer an alternative to LC and SC connectors. Although the terms MTP and MPO are usually used interchangeably, they are in fact different types of connector. MTP is a registered trademark of the company US Conec, but it complies with the MPO standard.
These connectors are used particularly frequently in data centres due to their many advantages. They can be installed and removed very quickly and easily, thereby significantly reducing the amount of work involved. The connectors offer higher density and scalability. As they are also modular in design, they can be expanded quickly. Their ease of use and quick installation save time and money – including during maintenance.
The MTP is an advanced version of the MPO connector, featuring a detachable housing and a floating ferrule that improves mechanical performance. The MTP is more robust, as the guide pin tips are made of stainless steel. Furthermore, the MTP connector is available in four strain relief variants, making it highly versatile.
