With the high-speed transmission and data capacity requirements of 40G / 100G network cabling in data centers, the application of high-density MPO / MTP fiber connectors and patch cords is becoming more common. The MPO / MTP fiber optic connector is normally a multi-core connector that can provide multi-fiber connections in one connector, thus supporting higher bandwidth and higher density applications. What is the difference between MPO and MTP?

MPO is "Multi-fiber Push On", which is the first-generation shrapnel-clamped multi-core connector developed by Japan NTT Communications Corporation in the 1980s. The size of the MPO connector is similar to the ordinary SC connector, however the density provides increased several times. Generally, 12-core optical fibers could be arranged in a row, supporting one or more rows of optical fibers in the same MPO connector. According to the different number of cores discharged in the connector, they are divided into one row (12-core) and multiple rows (24-core or more).Also applied to 400Gb may be the arrangement of 16/32 cores.In this way, an MPO connector can recognize the simultaneous transmission of 12-core or even more optical fiber signals, which saves a lot of space and resources for fiber optical wiring.

MTP is a registered trademark of US Conec, and its multi-core connector parts and ferrules are specifically called MTP connectors. MTP and MPO fiber optical connectors are in compliance with the international standard "IEC-61754-7" and the American standard "TIA-604-5 (FOCIS5)", which to a particular extent implies that the two are compatible.MTP fiber jumper is definitely a high-performance MPO connector with more optimized optical and mechanical properties.The appearance design is slightly different, but the two can be interchanged and interconnected.

MTP connectors are specially designed to improve performance and usability compared to MPO connectors. The distinctions between the two mainly include the following:

1.The outer frame sleeve of the MTP connector is designed to be removable, which is convenient for users to reprocess and polish the MT ferrule and flexibly change the positive and negative.

2.The floating ferrule of the MTP Multifiber Patch Cables can improve the transmission performance during mechanical docking.

3.There is a metal pin clip in the MTP optical fiber connector to fix the push ring, minimizing the accidental breakage when mating with the connector

4.The elliptical guide pin (PIN) of the MTP fiber optic connector is constructed of metal and oval design, which can maintain high-performance transmission more lasting.

MPO/MTP optical fiber connectors are small in size and high in density, and will support multi-core optical fiber connections, which greatly saves the space occupied by line ports and cables, so that higher density wiring can be achieved in a specific space.Great flexibility and scalability also produce cabling deployment easier and more adaptable to future network upgrades, expansions and changes.OEMfibers provides various specifications of MPO/MTP fiber connectors , fiber jumpers, and supports OEM / ODM customization.

There are several types of jumpers and pigtails. The main difference between fiber jumpers and fiber pigtails is certainly that only one end of the pigtail provides connectors, and both ends of the jumper have got connectors. Generally speaking, the jumper is normally cut from the middle to end up being two tail Slim.

1. What are jumpers and pigtails?

The jumper is a cable directly linked to the desktop computer or device to facilitate the connection and management of the device. The jumper has a thick protective layer and is often used between the terminal box and the optical transceiver.

Only one end of the pigtail includes a connector, and the various other end is an optical fiber connector, which is connected to other optical fiber cores in the kind of fusion splicing, and generally appears in the optical fiber terminal box.

2. Specifications and types of jumpers and pigtails

Jumpers are generally distinguished by single-mode and multi-mode in data transmission devices. The color of single-mode jumpers is normally yellow, and there are two wavelengths, 1310nm and 1550nm, and the transmission distances are 10km and 40km; Usually orange, the wavelength is 850nm, and the transmission distance is usually 500m. According to the joint type, it can be divided into the following types:

FC type jumper: round optical fiber connector, reinforced with a metal sleeve, and the fixing method is screw buckle.

SC-type jumper : rectangular connector, fixed by plug-in pin latch type, no need to rotate.

ST type jumper: round connector, using snap-in connection, the fixing method is screw buckle.

LC-type jumper: square connector, fixed by the modular jack (RJ) latch principle for easy operation.

The types of pigtails are mainly single-core pigtails, dual-core pigtails, 4-core pigtails, 12-core bundle pigtails, 12-color bundle pigtails, SC bundle pigtails, FC bundle pigtails, LC bundle pigtails Pigtails and ST bundle pigtails. In addition to these, it could be divided into the following types:

Bundle pigtails: These pigtails are also called pigtail bundles and consist of Corning tight-sleeved optical fibers, aramid fiber reinforced elements and flame-retardant PVC protective sleeves. Compared with other types of pigtails It is definitely more popular and widely used.

Ribbon pigtails: Ribbon pigtails are the same as bundle pigtails, both of which are multi-core pigtails. The ribbon pigtails contain 12-core optical fibers. One end can be used for fusion splicing and the other end is equipped with a connector.

Armored pigtails: The outermost layer of this pigtail has an additional metal protective sleeve than conventional pigtails, so it will be more durable than ordinary pigtails.

Fiber pigtails: low insertion loss, high return loss, good interchangeability and repeated pluggability, and very convenient to use.

Waterproof pigtail: with a dense protective sleeve and waterproof sealing joint, it is suitable for harsh environments.

3. Application of jumpers and pigtails

The jumper is mainly used for the bond between your optical fiber distribution frame or the optical fiber information socket and the switch, the connection between the switch and the switch, the bond between your switch and the pc, and the connection between the optical fiber information socket and the desktop computer. For management, apparatus room and work area subsystem.

Pigtails are mainly used in optical fiber communication systems, optical fiber access networks, optical fiber data transmission, optical fiber CATV, local area network (LAN), test equipment, optical fiber sensors, serial server, FTTH / FTTX, telecommunications networks and pre-termination installation.

4. Notes on jumpers and pigtails

The transceiver wavelengths of the optical modules linked by jumpers must be the same. Under normal circumstances, short-wave optical modules are equipped with multi-mode jumpers, and long-wave optical modules include single-mode jumpers to ensure the accuracy of data transmission.

The jumper should reduce the winding as much as possible during the wiring process, which can decrease the attenuation of the optical signal during the transmission process.

The connector of the jumper should be kept clean. After use, the connector ought to be sealed with a protective sleeve to avoid the entry of oil stains and dust. If stains are found, clean with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

The pigtail is relatively slender.The pigtail cross-section comes with an 8-degree angle and is not resistant to high temperatures.It will be damaged if it exceeds 100°C, so avoid using it in a high-temperature environment.

Conclusion

In the optical fiber transmission system, Armored pigtails and jumpers are the main tools. Nothing is lacking.There are also very high requirements for data transmission.The quality of the ferrule and the technology and method of production all determine the stability of data transmission.

DAC high-speed cable (Direct Attach Cable) is generally translated as direct cable, direct connection copper cable or high-speed cable.High- speed cable is a low-cost, short-distance connection solution that replaces optical modules. Both ends of the high-speed cable have got module cable assemblies, and the ports cannot be replaced. The module head and copper cable can't be separated, but compared to optical modules.The connector module on the high-speed cable does not have expensive optical lasers and other electronic components, thus greatly saving costs and power consumption in short-distance applications.

In this era of information industrialization, whether it is the application of emerging technologies or the construction of smart cities, the application is certainly inseparable from the basic network. The construction of the essential network is mainly based on the site, active terminals and interconnection products, and the basic interconnection channel-wiring system for the construction of the network. The wiring system needs to be installed and installed on site.It is susceptible to factors such as the environment, product quality, and installation process. It is the most important link in determining the quality of network transmission. The reliability of the wiring system depends not only on the quality supervision in the project.But it also on the final check and on-site acceptance testing. Now introduces you to the optical fiber link test.

10G fiber link test

The MPO connector can support at least 12-core optical fiber, and the MPO connector is principally used for pre-connected optical cables. Because there are 12-core channels for MPO fiber, for duplex transmission, there are mainly three types of connection methods of A, B, and C (MPO fiber link polarity. The three methods are for the transmission end to connect to the reception end. The compatibility and consistency of the links. In the 10G Fibre Channel, the polarity of the MPO backbone link is mainly in the type B mode. The two ends are converted into the LC interface through the MPO to LC transceiver box, and then connected to the device through the LC jumper. This situation is mainly used in high-density wiring systems in data centers.

Link under test:

1 MPO-MPO fiber jumper, with MPO-LC transceiver backbone links at both ends

Step:

1) Collection the benchmark:

Two FC-LC test jumpers connect the light source and optical power meter.

2) Disconnect the jumper and the adapter

3) Connect the optical fiber under test (MPO-LC transceiver box at both ends, MPO-MPO pre-connected optical cable in the middle), and connect the LC test jumper to the two ports of the transceiver at both ends.

4) Record and save the loss value of the current tested fiber channel, and replace the source of light end LC jumper to the transceiver 2-12 port record and save until the loss test of 12 channels is completed.

400G / 100G MPO fiber link test

A standard MPO / MTP link is composed of two MPO jumpers at both ends, two MPO adapters and MPO's pre-connected backbone optical cable. In TIA- 568-C.0-2009B.4, for parallel multi-channel transmission, A and B are given.

In order to guarantee the compatibility and unity of the link, construction and maintenance are more convenient, especially MPO patch cords that are frequently plugged and replaced. In the 40G / 100G wiring system, Mode B is more commonly used. The number of channels of 40G and 100G are different, but the transmission link model is the same, both use MPO / MTP interface for end-to-end transmission. Therefore, we take 40G single- channel transmission as an example. When testing, we need to pay attention to the types of ports that are pre-connected with optical cables and jumpers-with and without guide pins (male).

The following is the most common MPO fiber link model with no guide pin (female) at both ends.

Tools: MPO light source and MPO optical power meter (MPO dedicated test source of light and optical power meter, the instrument's MPO port contains 12 light source outlets and optical power meter inlets).

1) Place the benchmark:

Use MPO-MPO (male-male) jumper to short-circuit the MPO source of light and MPO optical power meter, first select the polarity corresponding to the jumper on the instrument, and then press the reference value (setting reference) setting button, then the optical power meter Record the initial optical power value received.

2) Join MPO-MPO (male-male)

Keep the jumper connection at the light source end unchanged, only unplug the jumper plug of the optical power meter, and add an MPO-MPO (male-male) test jumper of qualified quality and correct polarity to the optical power meter (should be in advance Test passed).

3) Test

Place the instrument on the main test interface, insert the test jumpers on the source of light and the optical power meter into the two ends of the link under test, press the test button, and the instrument will give a pass / fail result (or give a similar prompt after a few seconds) (Picture), press the storage button, name and save the test results. Continue to test the next MPO fiber.

Because fiber links have great advantages in meeting people's demand for high bandwidth, the use of optical fibers is becomer wider. Whether wiring construction personnel or network maintenance personnel.It is necessary to master the skills of fiber link testing.Read more:https://www.oemfibers.com

When the info center network can be upgraded to 10G, it's important to consider whether to select optical fiber or copper cable in the integrated wiring. Then, is it possible to choose 10G SFP + DAC high-speed cable and 10G SFP + optical module?

Comprehensive wiring selection 10G SFP + DAC high-speed cable and 10G SFP + optical module

The 10G SFP + optical module is an SFP + package and a duplex LC interface optical module. It is generally used in combination with an LC interface fiber jumper, which is principally used for optical fiber wiring. Provide each 10G Ethernet connection, the transmission wavelength is 850nm, 1310nm or 1550nm. In the communication room, the rack server and rack switch are wired. If the length is higher than 15M, it could be attained by selecting multimode fiber optical module, usually 10G LC fiber The jumper is certainly connected to the 10G SFP + optical module; if the vertical distance between your two will not exceed the cabinet, the SFP + DAC can be utilized for connection. For that reason, the 10G SFP + optical module is normally more trusted in long-distance transmission.

10G SFP + DAC is a copper cable with SFP + connectors at both ends. Weighed against 10G SFP + optical modules, the price is leaner, the wiring flexibility can be higher, the transmission distance can reach 10 meters, and the procedure is less complicated in the actual construction process. , 10G SFP + DAC wiring saves connection equipment, without the utilization of patch panels, servers and network equipment could be directly linked to the TOR switch, which indirectly saves investment costs.

10G SFP + DAC is a commonly used optical device for top-of-rack cabling in data centers, used for connecting small access switches and servers. 10G SFP + high-speed cable is a low-cost solution to displace optical modules. It is utilized to achieve high-speed interconnection at short distances and gets the characteristics of low power consumption and low latency.

Beneath the development trend of data centers, SFP + technology can assure the cheapest latency and best performance in the data center. When the cable deployment in the info center increases from 1000 to 10,000, 10G SFP + to SFP + high-speed cable solution It really is predicated on SFP + MSA (multi- source process), using copper shaft cables with SFP + connectors at both ends to supply a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection between two network devices. 10G SFP + DAC can be an integrated SFP + connector and copper cable, which really is a low-loss, high-efficiency, energy-saving and low-cost interconnection solution. 10G SFP + DAC high-speed cables can be found in a number of lengths and can be selected up to 15m, which happens to be the very best cable choice for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Now let's make it simple for everybody. The first choice for short-distance transmission in 10G data centers is usually 10G SFP + high-speed cables, accompanied by 10G SFP + optical modules .Read even more:https://www.oemfibers.com

 according to the ISO/IEC 11801, OM5 fiber specifies a wider selection of wavelengths between 850nm and 953nm. It was created to support short wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), which is among the many new technologies being developed for transmitting 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s. In June 2016, ANSI/TIA-492AAAE, the new wideband multimode fiber standard, was approved for publication. And in October of 2016, OM5 fiber was announced as the official designation for cabling containing WBMMF (Wide Band Multimode Fiber) by ISO/IEC 11801. From then on, OM5 may be a potential new option for data centers that require greater link distances and higher speeds.

OM4 is laser-optimized 50um fiber having 4.7GHz*km EMB bandwidth made for 10 Gb/s, 40 Gb/s, and 100 Gb/s transmission. OM4 dietary fiber offers been on the marketplace since 2005, sold as premium OM3 or OM3 fiber. The OM4 cabledesignation standardizes the nomenclature across all manufacturers to ensure that the customer includes a clearer notion of the product they are buying.OM4 fiber is totally backwards compatible with OM3 fiber and shares the same distinctive aqua jacket. OM4 originated particularly for VSCEL laser transmission and allows 10 Gig/second link distances as high as 550 Meters (in comparison to 300M with OM3) and will be offering a highly effective Modal Bandwidth (EMB) of 4700 MHz-km.

Since OM1 and OM2 fiber cannot support 25Gbps and 40Gbps data transmission speeds, OM3 and OM4 were the primary choices for multimode fiber to support 25G, 40G and 100G Ethernet. However, it's getting more expensive for optical fiber cable to aid next-generation Ethernet speed migration as bandwidth requirements increase. Against such a background, OM5 fiber was born to increase the advantages of multimode fiber in data centers.

The main element difference between them is that EMB is specified only at 850 nm for OM4 fiber cable at 4700 MHz-km, while OM5 EMB values are specified at both 850 nm and 953 nm and the worthiness at 850 nm is higher than that of OM4. For that reason, OM5 fiber offers users longer length distances and more choices in optical fiber. Furthermore, TIA has specified green as the state cable jacket color for OM5, while OM4 is certainly aqua jacket. And OM4 is designed for 10Gb/s, 40Gb/s, and 100Gb/s transmission, but OM5 is created for 40Gb/s, and 100Gb/s transmission which reduces the fiber counts for high speed transmissions.

Also, OM5 cable can support four SWDM channels, each having 25G of data to provide 100G Ethernet utilizing a single couple of multimode fibers. Besides, it really is fully appropriate for OM3 and OM4 fiber. OM5 is normally available globally for installations in multiple enterprise environments, from campuses to buildings to data centers. In short, OM5 fiber is a much better choice than OM4 on transmission distance, speed and cost.
