MPO & MTP High-Density Fiber Solutions for Scalable Data-Centre & Telecom Networks
MTP®/MPO Fiber Cabling Solutions: High-Density & Low Loss
Engineered for Zero-Error Migration: US Conec MTP® & Corning® Fiber
Don’t risk your data center uptime with generic MPO connectors. ABPTEL exclusively utilizes Genuine US Conec MTP® PRO connectors and Corning® ClearCurve® OM4/OS2 fiber.
Our “Elite Grade” trunks achieve an industry-leading 0.35dB Insertion Loss, ensuring you have enough optical budget for 100G SR4 and 400G SR8 hyperscale deployments.
QSFP to QSFP Direct Link
Scenario: Connecting two 40G/100G transceivers directly (e.g., Switch to Server). Selection: Female to Female, Type B (Crossover) Polarity. 💡 Engineer's Tip: Never connect Male to Male! Transceivers always have Male pins, so your cable MUST be Female.
MTP Cassette & Trunk
Scenario: Connecting two MTP Cassettes via a Trunk cable in racks. Selection: Female to Female (if cassettes are Male), Type A (Straight) or Type B (depends on design). 💡 Engineer's Tip: For Backbone trunks, Type A is standard, but you'll need an A-to-B patch cord at one end to flip polarity.
40G/100G to 10G/25G
Scenario: Splitting one QSFP port into 4x SFP+ ports (Top of Rack). Selection: MTP (Female) to 4x LC Duplex, Type B Polarity. 💡 Engineer's Tip: Check your transceiver type (SR4 vs PLR4) to ensure the fiber count matches (8 fibers vs 12 fibers).
Why Our MTP Cables Don’t Fail?
- ✔3D Interferometer Test: We test 100% of connectors for Radius of Curvature, Fiber Height, and Apex Offset. If the geometry isn’t perfect, physical contact fails.
- ✔US Conec MTP® Connectors: Unlike generic MPO connectors, genuine MTP® features a floating ferrule and elliptical guide pins to prevent fiber damage over 1000+ matings.
- ✔OFNP (Plenum) Jackets: All our US-bound cables use fire-retardant NFPA 262 plenum jackets for data center code compliance.

MPO / MTP Assemblies
Abptel, your trusted manufacturer in Shenzhen, delivers pre-terminated MPO® and US Conec MTP® cable systems that accelerate 40 G/100 G/400 G roll-outs while safeguarding tomorrow’s 800 G upgrades. Every trunk and harness is built under ISO 9001 and tested to IEC 61754-7 interface & IEC 61300-3-30 end-face geometry standards.
MTP® Elite ferrules guarantee ≤0.35 dB insertion loss and ≥55 dB return loss for single-mode optics.
MPO/MTP cabling consolidates 8 – 144 fibers in a single push-pull interface, slashing rack congestion and installation time versus traditional LC or SC termination. Typical use-cases:
* Spine-leaf fabrics in hyperscale data-centres
* 5G C-RAN & fronthaul backhaul links
* Disaster-recovery interconnects between Tier-2 DCs
* High-performance computing (HPC) & AI clusters

MPO/MTP Quality Control & Testing
100% 3D Pass
Every connector is tested for Radius of Curvature, Fiber Height, and Apex Offset. Why? To guarantee physical contact on all 12/16/24 fibers simultaneously.
400x Cleanliness
Automated inspection ensures Zero Scratches/Pits on the fiber core. A single dust particle can burn out a 400G port. We clean it so you don’t have to.
IL/RL Testing
We guarantee Return Loss (RL) > 60dB (for APC) to prevent signal reflection, which is critical for high-speed PAM4 modulation networks.
Why Choose MPO/MTP?
Plug-and-Play Modularity
- Factory-terminated trunks cut cabinet build time by up to **70 %** versus field termination.
Density Without Compromise
- Up to 3,456 fibers per 1U using 16F MTP® Pro cassettes – perfect for AI & HPC clusters.
Smooth Migration to 400G / 800G
- Simply swap transceivers; existing 8F → 16F trunks support parallel optic upgrades
Comparing MPO/MTP to LC Duplex Cabling
| Parameter | MPO/MTP Trunk | Traditional LC |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber Count / Port | 8 – 144 | 2 |
| Typical IL (low-loss) | 0.35 dB | 0.15 dB |
| Upgrade Path | Parallel optics 400 G / 800 G | Requires recabling |
| Rack Density | ★★★★★ | ★★ |
| Field Termination | Not required | Required |
Q1: What is the difference between MTP® and MPO?
MPO is the generic interface standard. MTP® is a high-performance MPO connector manufactured by US Conec. It has superior mechanical design (floating ferrule, removable housing) that ensures lower insertion loss and better durability. All ABPTEL Elite cables use MTP® connectors.
Q2: Should I choose Male (Pinned) or Female (Unpinned)?
It depends on what you are plugging into.
Plug into Transceiver (Optical Module): Use Female (Unpinned).
Plug into Patch Panel / Cassette: Usually Male (Pinned), but check the cassette spec.
Rule of Thumb: Always mate Male to Female. Never Male to Male (damage!) or Female to Female (no signal).
Q3: Which polarity do I need for 40G QSFP+ SR4?
For a direct connection between two 40G QSFP+ modules, you need a Type B (Female to Female) cable. This “crosses over” the transmit fibers to the receive fibers.
