Comparison of structural differences between different core series of MPO connectors

The composition and basic characteristics of conventional MPO/MTP connectors. The main components of the MPO connector

① Boot → ② Crimp ring → ③ Brake → ④ Spring → ⑤ Bushing → ⑥ Ferrule → ⑦ Outer frame sleeve → ⑧ Dust cap

MPO connector male head female head distinction

1: MPO male head with pins;

2: MPO female head without pins;

Let's compare the difference between the 16/32 core series and the 12/24 core series

There are differences in the structure of MPO16/32 core series and 12/24 core series parts

1: Outer frame cover

There are differences in the position and size of the K key on the outer frame cover;

The K key of the 12/24 core series is in the middle of the outer frame sleeve and the width is relatively wide (16/32 core series);

The K key of the 16/32 core series is on the side of the outer frame cover and the width is relatively narrow (12/24 core series);

2: ferrule

There are differences in the number and relative size of ferrules;

12/24 core series ferrule: single row 1X12 core/double row 2X12 core;

16/32 core series ferrule: single row 1x16 core/double row 2X16 core;
