What is MPO/MT Ferrule and where it can be used?
MPO/MT Ferrule is a compact design, high-density, and small volume multi-core plastic plug, whose main function is to achieve precise physical docking of optical fibers. MT plug is a square plug made of PPS plastic injection molding, which has excellent characteristics such as good thermal stability, high mechanical strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, and good dimensional stability. It can achieve high-density and high-precision connection of multiple optical fibers, and each fiber has low loss performance. It is widely used in the manufacturing of MPO fiber connectors and optocoupling of devices.
MPO/MT Ferrule Types
All multimode MPOs have a flat front face while all single-mode have an angled front with flat surface towards the keyway.
Material Selection of Ferrule
MT Ferrule, made from high quality special mineral filled PolyPhenylene Sulfide (PPS). High quality special mineral filled PPS is ideal for precise tolerance molded components because it hasminimal water absorption and has a very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion. As such, the ferrule offers excellent performance and properties for all environments.
