FastLinkcabsys has released a low-loss MPO pre-terminated fiber optic solution that perfectly replaces MTP connectors.
In 2010, FastLink revolutionized fiber optic cabling with its OS2/OM3/OM4 pre-terminated solutions using the advanced low-loss MTP connector. Despite being more expensive than the traditional MPO connectors, MTP connectors offered significant long-term value by enabling future-proof network infrastructure. These pre-terminated fiber solutions supported the growing demand for 10G backbone applications in data centers, while allowing easy upgrades to 40G or 100G speeds simply by replacing network equipment—no need for costly cabling changes.

These MTP connectors meet both international standards, such as IEC-61754-7, and North American standards like TIA-604-5 (FOCIS5). With a significantly lower insertion loss of just 0.35dB, MTP connectors outperform traditional MPO connectors, which typically have losses up to 0.75dB. |
MTP connectors offer enhanced performance over MPO connectors, with improvements such as greater durability of the pins. Despite these differences, MTP connectors are a more advanced version of MPO, as their physical interface dimensions are fully compatible. This ensures that MTP connectors can seamlessly replace MPO connectors, maintaining full backward compatibility. As the demand for higher transmission speeds in data centers grows, more users are adopting 40G and 100G network applications, driving the need for advanced fiber optic connectors. With the improvements in manufacturing technology, many manufacturers now offer low-loss MPO connectors that deliver performance comparable to MTP connectors. These connectors not only meet the high-performance requirements of modern networks but also offer a more competitive price due to their availability and lower material costs.
Following extensive testing at FastLinkcabsys lab, low-loss MPO connectors have been validated to deliver performance on par with MTP connectors, fully supporting the demands of 40G and 100G network transmissions. In 2020, FastLinkcabsys introduced a pre-terminated fiber optic cabling solution utilizing low-loss MPO connectors, offering a complementary option to its MTP product line. This solution provides users with an enhanced choice for high-speed network deployments, combining superior performance with cost-effective flexibility to meet modern networking requirements.
