The Non-Contact MPO fiber connector (NC-MPO) invented by Arrayed Fiberoptics, it might be the next generation multi-fiber optical connector for data center project, where there is no contact between fiber surfaces. There are two key elements in the NC-MPO connector, first, the fiber surface is recessed, and second, the fiber surface has an anti-reflection coating. It offers vastly improved optical performance and longevity.
Features
- Low insertion loss: 0.06dBtypical;
- High return loss: >70dB (single mode);
- Interchangeability: guaranteed connection between connectors;
- Good insertion loss repeatability: <0.01dB; Not sensitive to dust; Long connector mating life: >2,000 matings (10 times traditional MPO);
- NC-MPO can mate traditional MPO;
- Cost of production is comparable to traditional MPO connectors.
