![]() Today MTP MPO cables are enabling the World by multi-lane densely packed inter and intra connections between Data Storage and Distribution Points. In the coming years, the number of connections utilizing MPO cable structure will increase to ensure a 5G New Radio Metro Transport Network. Along with this, LC to LC Simplex and Duplex connections are common and they are easy to connect. However, when it comes to MTP MPO cable, it becomes not so easy and needs the basic knowledge regarding main features and use cases. MTP MPO Cables Nowadays, we interchangeably use the terms MTP MPO Cables. However, they are not at all same. MTP cable is an enhanced version of the MPO cable version. Firstly, the MTP connector consists of a removable housing that allows for polish, re-work and change of connector heads. Secondly, they have an advanced mechanical support system to make sure that the cable is not easily broken inside the connector housing. Nevertheless, many MPO has started implementing similar mechanical support and provide breaking resistance from the extensive bending force, but it does not guarantee a removable housing. In high-density cabling environments like data centers, MPO or MTP terminated cables are widely used. Generally, the tight-buffered multi-fiber cable needs to have each fiber individually terminated by a skilled technician. MPO cable which carries multiple fibers is available pre-terminated. Factory terminated MPO / MTP connectors commonly have either 12 fiber or 24 fiber arrays. People generally use the terms MPO and MTP interchangeably and many customers have asked us to clarify the difference between the two. MPO is a fiber connector type whereas MTP is a registered trademark of an MPO connector manufacturer. All MTPs are MPOs whereas all MPOs are not MTPs. MTP is a brand name for an MPO connector that is manufactured. It conforms to MPO specs. MTP stands for Multi-fiber Termination Push-on connector. MTP connectors are highly engineered for high mechanical and optical specs. Few of these features are covered by patents. To the naked eye, you will find very little difference between the two connectors. MPO cable is compatible with each other when it comes to cabling. Main source: https://fibermarts.wordpress.com/

![]() Need for optical fiber amplifiers Optical amplifier EDFA solves the traditional distance problem as in any long-distance telecommunication system such as a trans-Atlantic link. The signals become weaker in power because optical signals travel through the fiber. The signal become weaker if you go far until it becomes too weak to be detected reliably. Optical fiber amplifiers and their working An optical fiber amplifier is a part of optical fiber that is doped with a rare-earth element such as erbium or praseodymium. By high power light (pump laser) the atoms of erbium or praseodymium can be pumped into an excited state. But in the excited state, they are not at all stable. When there is a need for optical signals to be amplified then it is required that they should pass through the fiber as they stimulate the excited erbium atoms. The erbium atoms will then jump from the high-power level excited state into a low power level stable state, and at the same time, it releases their energy in the form of emitted light photons. Like the input optical signal, the emitted photons have the same phase and wavelength thus amplifying the optical signal. This is a very convenient form of the amplifier, especially for an optical fiber communication system as it is an in-line amplifier. It then removes the need to do the optical-electrical and electrical-optical conversion process. Cooperation of fiber optical attenuator pumps the laser wavelengths and the corresponding optical signal wavelengths are key parameters. These wavelengths rely on the type of rare-earth element doped in the fiber and also on the composition of the glass in the fiber. Gain is another important term in understanding fiber amplifiers. The amplification per unit length of fiber is measured in gain. The gain depends on both the materials and the operating conditions, and it differs with wavelength for all materials. In the case of low input powers, the output power is proportional to the gains times the fiber length. The gain saturation effect comes into play for high input powers. So, an increment of input power produces less and less output power, which means that the optical switch has run out of the power it needs to generate more output.
