Connector Assembly with MT Ferrules

using the MT Ferrule
specific fixturing and tooling

high-density network cabling systems like data centers, supporting 40G and 100G parallel fiber connectivity, require multi-fiber connectors, like MPO and MTP®, using MT ferrules.

VIEW fixturing and tooling list

MPO/MTP® connectors have been an international standard in networks for years and are the go-to multifiber connectors using MT ferrules. This success has made it a popular choice for other specialized connectors that use the MT ferrule format, for example in outdoor and aerospace applications.

Excluding MPO/MTP®, connectors with the MT ferrule have various dimensions. Even though much of the standard production equipment for MT ferrules can be used across the board, fixturing and tooling to assemble the connectors itself might be different.
