In the construction of high-speed networks in data centers, high-density fiber optic cabling has become mainstream. How to achieve efficient and flexible connections within limited cabling space? The 16-fiber MPO/MTP to 2x 8-fiber MPO/MTP fiber optic patch cord, with its high-density advantage, has become an important tool for optimizing network architecture.
What is an MPO Fiber Optic Patch Cord?
MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) is a multi-fiber optic connector that can support fiber optic connections of 8, 12, 16, 24 fibers, or even higher density. It is widely used in data center cabling, cloud computing, and high-speed communication network optical module interconnections.
Application Scenarios
①400G to 2×200G Link Architecture
One end uses a 400G QSFP-DD SR8 optical module, and the other end uses two 200G QSFP56 SR4 optical modules. By using an MPO/MTP-16 to 2x MPO/MTP-8 multimode fiber optic patch cord, a connection from 400G to two 200G links can be achieved.
②800G to 2×400G Link Architecture
One end uses an 800G QSFP-DD DR8 optical module, and the other end uses a 400G QSFP-DD DR4 optical module. By using an MPO/MTP-16/APC to 2x MPO/MTP-8/APC single-mode fiber optic patch cord, a connection from 800G to two 400G links can be achieved.
The 16-fiber MPO/MTP to 2x 8-fiber MPO/MTP fiber optic patch cord is a «flexible converter» for high-density fiber optic networks, especially suitable for data centers, 5G, and cloud computing scenarios. By selecting the appropriate model, cabling efficiency can be significantly improved, and maintenance costs can be reduced.
