How do we know how to deploy fiber optic cables in data centers and MTP/MPO high-density fiber distribution frames? 12-core ribbon cable is a type of fiber optic cable commonly used in data centers. Both ends of the fiber optic cable are easily terminated using MTP/MPO connectors or simplex/duplex connectors. The MTP/MPO connector is a multi-core connector that accommodates 12 fibers of 24 or more, densities up to precision up to compact dimensions (less than SC connectors).

At present, MTP/MPO high-density fiber distribution frames on the market are usually pre-terminated products, that is, MTP/MPO connectors are usually pre-terminated at one or both ends of the ribbon fiber. Pre-terminated MTP/MPO ribbon cable with high performance low insertion loss and high wiring density. It is widely favored by data center managers. Using pre-terminated MTP/MPO ribbon cables in data centers not only has high transmission rates, but it is very stable and greatly simplifies the wiring system.
Typically, data centers typically use pre-terminated MTP/MPO ribbon fiber products and ribbon cables for cabling. One end of the MTP/MPO branch fiber jumper is terminated with an MTP/MPO connector, and the other end is terminated. Simplex/Duplex Connectors (LC/SC) for cabling between 10G network equipment and 40/100G equipment.

Both ends of the MTP/MPO trunk fiber patch cables are pre-terminated with MTP/MPO connectors, which are typically used for backbone cabling in data centers. The front panel of the MTP/MPO high-density fiber distribution frame provides multiple simplex/duplex LC/SC interfaces. The rear panel provides 1-2 MTP/MPO interfaces.
The MTP/MPO to LC/SC breakout fiber patch cables are pre-installed in the box. Mainly used for switching between MTP/MPO trunk fiber patch cords and LC/SC fiber patch cords. MTP/MPO backbone fiber patch cords are usually used with MTP/MPO switch module boxes to achieve interconnection and cross-connection between network devices.
We know that due to the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth, the number of optical cables in the data center network equipment is increasing, and the cabling space in the data center is very limited, which undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on the cooling system. This brings a lot of inconvenience to the fiber optic cable removal work. The use of ribbon cable can effectively solve these problems. According to statistics, using MTP/MPO high-density fiber distribution frame to deploy ribbon fiber optic cables in data centers can save 45% of wiring space compared to ordinary fiber optic cables.
