MPO (Multi-fiberPushOn) optical fiber jumper is composed of connectors and optical cables, and is a high-density optical fiber transmission jumper. MPO connector is one of the MT series connectors, which is a multi-core and multi-channel plug-in connector. pin (also called PIN pin) for precise connection.

Compared with other connectors, MPO connectors are mainly characterized by compact design and large number of jumper cores. MPO connectors are the same size as SC connectors, but can accommodate 12 or 24 fibers, so MPO can greatly save cabinet wiring space.
At present, MPO connectors have 8-pin, 12-pin, 24-pin, 48-pin, 72-pin, and 144-pin design, among which 12 and 24-pin MPO jumpers are more common. 40GMPO-MPO fiber jumpers generally use 12-core MPO multimode ferrules; 100GMPO-MPO fiber jumpers generally use 24-core MPO ferrules.
MPO fiber optic connectors include optical fibers, sheaths, coupling components, metal rings, pins, dust caps, etc., and the pins are divided into two forms: male and female. The male connector has two PIN pins, while the female connector does not.
The connections between the MPO connectors are precisely aligned via PIN pins. When the connector is mated, a spring mounted on the end of the ferrule will provide a push to the ferrule to lock it with the adapter. There is a "key" on one side of the connector body, which is divided into "concave and convex", which is used to limit the relative position of the connector, that is, P1, P2, etc. There is a marking called "white dot" on the body side of the connector to designate the insertion side of the connector.
Compared with other optical fiber connectors, MPO connectors have the characteristics of small size, high precision and high density. Its appearance has greatly improved the popularity of optical networks and reduced production costs. Therefore, MPO jumpers are widely used in environments that require high-density integrated optical fiber lines in the wiring process, such as FTTX, 40/100GSFP, SFP+ and other transceiver modules or connection applications inside and outside the device.
