An MPO (Multi-fiber Push-on) patch cord is a fiber optic cable with multiple individual fibers bundled together, terminating in MPO connectors at each end. It's a high-density, high-speed solution used in data centers and other applications to connect devices like servers and switches, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installation compared to individual patch cords.

Key features and applications

• High-density connections: MPO patch cords can bundle 12, 24, or more fibers into a single cable, increasing port density and saving space.

• Simplified cabling: They reduce the total number of cables needed, which makes installation, management, and maintenance easier.

• High-speed support: They are essential for high-speed applications such as 40G and 100G Ethernet, which use parallel optics over multiple fibers.

• Applications: Common uses include data center backbone cabling, connecting servers, and internal connections within optical equipment.

MPO vs. MTP

• MPO: is an open standard for a multi-fiber connector.

• MTP: (Multi-fiber Termination Push-on) is a specific, trademarked version of the MPO connector made by US Conec, with some enhanced mechanical and optical features.

• The terms are often used interchangeably in the industry, but MTP is technically a brand name for an improved MPO connector.
