MPOs are primarily used in high-bandwidth and high-density applications, parallel optical systems, and data centers. 12 and 24 fiber MPOs are the most popular types and are currently used to connect 40G and 100G optics.
MPO connectors include MPO connector kits and MT ferrules (mechanical transmission).
What are MTP connectors?
MTP Connector is a trademark of MPO Connector owned by US Conec. It improves the performance of standard MPO connectors in several ways, including mechanical and optical characteristics.
MTP connectors are fully compliant with IEC-61754-7 and TIA-604-5 (FOCIS5) MPO standards, are interchangeable and 100% compatible with each other. This means you can interconnect MTPs and MPOs directly between applications.

What is the difference between MPO connector and MTP connector?
1. The MTP connector has a removable housing.
2. MTP has floating ferrules to improve mechanical performance
3. MTP connectors use tight tolerance stainless steel oval guide pin tips.
4. The MTP connector has a metal pin clip with a push spring to the center.
5. The MTP connector spring design maximizes ribbon clearance for twelve-fiber and multi-fiber ribbon applications to prevent fiber damage.
6. MTP connectors are available in four strain relief boots to suit various applications.
These are the top 6 areas where MTP differs from MPO. But as the technology evolves, MPO connector suppliers are also upgrading their products to perform at their best, with some suppliers offering advanced MPO connectors with MTP-like features that have set MTP apart from the ground up. All the same functionality. For example, in the FSG product list we also offer versions with removable housings and floating ferrules.

How to choose between MPO and MTP?
If you are looking for multi-conductor connectors for data center or telecom applications, you can choose from 100% compatible MPO connectors or MTP.
