The MPO optical adapter (or MTP coupler) is designed to connect a female MPO/MTP trunk cable to a male trunk cable, or connect a female trunk cable directly to a male module (such as an MPO/MTP male to LC module).
These adapters are fully compatible with MPO-8, MPO-12, MPO-16, MPO-24, MPO-32, and MPO-48 fiber connectors.
The Opposed configuration (Key Up to Key Down) is typically used for standard Type A trunk cables. The Aligned configuration (Key Up to Key Up) is utilized for standard Type B trunk cables.
Yes, adapters are available in configurations both with and without flanges. The flanged option helps to securely fix the adapter into patch panel plates.
The operational temperature range is -20°C to 70°C, and the storage temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, with a maximum operating humidity level of 95%RH.
