Understanding the MPO Connector
What is a MPO?
SENKO Products are
RoHS, Reach SVHC and
UL 94 V-0 compliant.
Key improvements made in the MPO Plus
MPO is an industry term to describe a multi-fiber Push On style connector.
By definition, the MPO is a multi-fiber connector (a single connector that houses multiple fiber terminations) that is defined by
IEC-61754-7, “Fiber optic interconnecting devices and passive components – Fibre optic connector interfaces - Part 7: Type MPO
connector family”; and TIA-604-5-D, ”Fiber Optic Connector Intermateability Standard, Type MPO”.

The connector concept was originally designed by NTT Group and finite number of manufacturing licenses were subsequently issued.
Senko is among these licensee’s. There are several variants of MPO compliant connectors in the markets such as the MTP® connector*.
Improved spring design
The MPO’s rise in popularity stems from its unique ability to mate multiple fibers (2-72 fibers) within a single connector body housing
therefore significantly reducing space. The connector’s general design also has unique features from conventional connectors such
as being rectangular in shape. It utilizes guide pins and precision holes for ferrule to ferrule alignment within the adaptor as opposed
to a precion alignment “sleeve” used in conventional adaptors and the ferrule (MT) is made from a monolithic, high precision glassed
filled polymer as opposed to a ceramic material.
Whereas most MPO’s supplied in the market today continue from the original design parameters, Senko’s MPO Plus Series of
enhanced MPO style connectors has taken a leadership role in refining and optimizing the original product in the areas of mechanical
durability, product features and most importantly the optical performance of the MT ferrule itself.
Chamfer guide pin
Senko’s enhanced oval spring
provides more ribbon clearance and
enhances mechanical performance
Conventional round spring allows
less ribbon clearance; limits
mechanical performance
Rounded chamfer on the
Guide pin that reduces guide
hole chipping thus helping to

Unlike traditional 10GbE transmission which utilizes a 2-fiber configuration, the 40GbE and 100GbE are implemented over multi fiber array MPO connectors. It is critical
that proper connector orientations are established. The TIA 568 standard provides three methods for configuring systems to ensure that proper connections are made.

Each MPO connector has a key on one side of the connector body. The “Key Up” position refers to the orientation where the key is located at the top position of the
connector. When looking at the end face of the connector, position 1 is on the far left while position 12 is on the far right. Depending on the adopted connectivity
orientation, the MPO adapter needs to be suitable for its application, which is either “Key Up to Key Down” or “Key Up to Key Up”. In addition, MPO connectors are
differentiated to a Male and Female connector. A Male MPO connector has two alignment pins while a Female MPO connector has two alignment holes where the pins
are to be inserted when a connection is made. An MPO connection can only be performed between a Male and Female connector to ensure proper alignment which
is required to maintain a low loss connection. SENKO’s MPO Plus MINI Connector allows end users to freely change Polarity or Gender in the field, which gives great
flexibility in network configuration.

MT Ferrule
High Quality Material for trusted
reliability
8 and 12 Fiber Ferrule
SENKO’s MT Ferrule, made from high quality glass filled
PolyPhenylene Sulfide (PPS) is used with our MPO Plus Connectors
and tested against the stringent requirement of Telcordia’s
GR-1435. Glass filled PPS is ideal for precise tolerance molded
components because it has minimal water absorption and has a
very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion. As such, the ferrule
offers excellent performance and properties for all environments.
SENKO’s MPO Plus MT 12 fiber ferrule are the most common used
MT Ferrule in the market which gives the best combination of
easy-to-use and low insertion loss. The SM Low Loss and MM Low
Loss now guarantees the industry’s lowest insertion loss of 0.25dB,
with a typical of greater than 0.1dB, which exceeds the IEC 617553-31 Grade B Requirement. Quality, Price, durability and ease of
assembly makes the 12 fiber your best choice.

With the recent advancement to precision molding technology,
SENKO ferrules are manufactured with much tighter specification
as compared to conventional products. With these ultra-precise
dimensions, SENKO is able to achieve the lowest industry insertion
loss of 0.25dB guaranteed with a typical IL of greater than 0.1dB
for the SM and MM Low loss ferrule. SENKO’s Low Loss ferrules are

multi-fiber, SMA and single-fiber connections in the field.
SMX-Manta can be used for visual inspection of the connector end
face for scratches, defects and contaminations, as well as for Pass/ Fail
testing by IEC standards or user-defined criteria.

Data Center, multi-fiber trunk cables are frequently designed
with MPO connectivity but there are several different methods
involving different configurations. The MPO+ Cable Analyzer is
designed to check the polarity of multi-fiber cable assemblies.
It can significantly improve the throughput in a production
environment where the possibility of process errors demands
an efficient method to test and confirm the correct connectivity.

Fiber Analysis
The microprocessor controlled system automatically checks the
continuity. It takes a comparative power measurement to ensure
quality of manufacture. In addition to this, the 650nm red lasers
can be used as a visual fault locator to highlight any possible
fiber damage issues.
Testing with Ease
The cables are tested in loop-back mode, which means that one
end is connected to the Analyser’s 12 light sources and the other
end to the 12 detectors removing the need for complicated fanouts. Tests can be configured by the user and the device has a USB
interface allowing remote configuration and data storage via a PC.

Fixture to Platten Locking Mechanism
• Fixture incorporates 3 locator posts which mate firmly with
slots in the safety cover assembly during locked position
• Locking mechanism confines motion to a vertical plane,
eliminating unwanted horizontal motion
• Offers consistent polishing results even at high platten speeds
• User can polish as little as three connectors at a time
Safety Features
• CE Approval
• Sensor detects when cover is open and prevent operation
• Emergency stop button with key-operated release
• Machine does not operate unless fixture posts are aligned with
cover and fixture is in contact with rubber pad and platten
• Polishing machine stalls if it senses an obstruction between the
fixture and the platten before the 3 locator posts are in place

Senko’s Optical Connector
Lineup creates reliability in
telecommunications service
for Fiber Cleaning
The Smart Cleaner is a dry cloth cleaner specifically
designed to clean connections residing in an adapter,
faceplate or bulkhead.
The cause of numerous problems in optical
communication equipment is contamination of the
end face of optical connectors. Senko has developed
optical fiber cleaners with fiber specifically for optical
connectors to help create a reliable telecommunications
service. Senko’s optical connector cleaners eliminate
even the smallest contaminants that are visible only
through magnification.

CLEANINGS
Why is cleaning optical
connectors so important?
• Removes Outer housing for gender

Loopback
• Available for 12ch & 24ch
• Standard and QSFP
Applications
• Solid Body
• MPO Attenuator
• loopback also
available
The MPO Visible light source is a useful tool designed for checking the
Fiber ports in both MM and SM assemblies, or checking for defects in
an MPO array. It emits a visible 650nm wavelength visible red laser light
through fiber optic cables; if there are breaks or defects in the fiber then
the light will refract, creating a bright glow around the faulty area. The
Laser Diode output signal can be switched from all fibers at the same time
or sequentially through each individual fiber in either Continuous Wave
Mode or Flashing Mode to obtain different visual effects.
for MPO Connector
Contamination of the optical connector end face can
easily occur. The transmission quality will be affected
once the contaminants adhere to the 10µm diameter
optical fiber core, and there is increased danger that the
fiber end face will be damaged by any high powered
light. Cleaning the optical connector end face is
extremely important before making a connection.
