  • MPO-16 to FC fiber optic patch cable features good exchangeability, high durability, high temperature stability,

Product Description

The 16-fibers (MPO-16 or MTP-16) connector is a high-density fiber optic connector designed for 400G and 800G Ethernet applications in modern data centers.

It features a single row of 16 fibers, utilizing an offset keying mechanism to prevent accidental mating with standard 12-fiber (Base-12) connectors.

These connectors are essential for parallel optics, such as 400G-SR8 and 800G-SR8, providing higher data capacity and improved bandwidth.

Key Features & Technical Aspects

  • Capacity 16 fibers per connector in a single row.
  • Density Offers superior density compared to traditional 12-fiber connectors, utilizing a similar footprint to allow 16 times higher density in some applications.
  • Applications Ideal for 400GBASE-SR8, 800G QSFP-DD/OSFP DR8, and AI/ML data center links.
  • Polarity & Type Typically features Type B polarity (or A/C) for direct connection to transceiver lanes, frequently using APC (Angled Physical Contact) for low insertion loss.
  • Standards Compliance Complies with IEC 61754-7, TIA/EIA 604-5, and Telcordia GR-1435-CORE.
  • Connector Variants Available in female (no pins) or male (with pins) versions, often in Single-mode G657A1, OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4 or OM5 (Multimode).
  • Durability Supports high-speed, low-loss connections with options like 0.65dB standard IL or 0.35dB elite IL.

MPO-16 to FC fiber optic patch cord with one side termination connector is MPO-16 fiber optic connector and an other side with FC fiber optic connector. Patch cable length is customized to satisfy customer's request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary applications for the MPO-16 / MTP-16 connector?
The MPO-16 connector is primarily designed for high-density 400G and 800G Ethernet applications (like 400G-SR8 and 800G-SR8) in modern data centers, high-capacity enterprise networks, telecom networks, and FTTx deployments.
How does the MPO-16 connector prevent incorrect connections with standard connectors?
It features an offset keying mechanism. This special alignment design prevents accidental mating with standard 12-fiber (Base-12) connectors, avoiding potential network faults.
What is the difference between Elite and Standard insertion loss?
Elite connectors provide a lower insertion loss (typically ≤ 0.35 dB for both Single Mode and Multi Mode), while Standard options offer a standard insertion loss of ≤ 0.75 dB (Single Mode) or ≤ 0.60 dB (Multi Mode).
What types of optical fibers are supported?
The connector supports Single-mode G652D, G657A1, and Multimode OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, and OM5 fibers, making it highly adaptable for various transmission lengths and architectures.
What standard requirements do these MPO-16 components meet?
They comply with international and industry standards including IEC 61754-7, TIA/EIA 604-5, and Telcordia GR-1435-CORE, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
Can I customize the length of the MPO-16 to FC patch cord?
Yes. The patch cord is terminated with an MPO-16 connector on one side and an FC connector on the other, and the cable length can be customized to satisfy specific layout requirements.
