Introduction to MPO multimode fiber optic patch cords OM3 and OM4?

The MPO fiber optic patch cord has MPO connectors at both ends and can be directly used for connecting 40 or 100G equipment. It is widely used for upgrading data centers from 10G to 40/100G. The cable diameter is typically 3.0mm, with various branch cable diameters available such as 0.9mm, 2.0mm, etc., to meet different wiring needs. MPO backbone fiber jumpers have extremely low insertion loss and reflection loss, compact design, and excellent performance. They are commonly used in high-density data center environments, fiber to the building (FTTB), and internal connections of fiber optic equipment.

MPO fiber optic patch cords are composed of MPO connectors and fiber optic cables. The types of MPO connectors are distinguished based on several factors as specified by the IEC 61754-7 standard: fiber count, gender, polarity, and end-face type (PC or APC).

1. Low Insertion Loss, High Stability

Utilizing new materials and high-standard production techniques for connectors, ensuring high durability and resolving issues such as high attenuation, network congestion, and smoothness.

2. Telecom Grade Quality, Excellent Interchangeability

Sturdy and durable, resistant to deformation, with excellent interchangeability.

3. Fiber Dust Protection Cover

Each interface at both ends of the fiber optic cable is equipped with a dust protection cover to prevent damage to the connectors and ensure product quality.

4. Long Tail Protection

Integrated long tail design process, with good flexibility, allowing for moderate bending, sturdy and durable without breaking.

The first fiber in the first core corresponds to the 12th fiber position in the connector at the other end, the second fiber in the first core corresponds to the 11th fiber position in the connector at the other end, and so on. For Type C polarity, the first fiber in the first core corresponds to the second fiber position in the connector at the other end, the second fiber in the first core corresponds to the first fiber position in the connector at the other end.
