MPO Adapters
The MT ferrule has changed fiber optic packaging
dramatically with the increase in density up to 24 fibers in a
single
connector.
With
this
density
increase,
performance cannot afford to be compromised.
That is why Amphenol developed the 955 series MPO
adapter family. Made in both die-cast and industry compliant
thermoplastics, the MPO adapter is precision manufactured to
insure intermateability with industry standard assemblies and
connectors. Available with various flange styles, Amphenol
MPO adapters are able to meet the challenges and
mechanical requirements of highly dense system designs while
maintaining industry standard footprints.
The die-cast version was designed to meet the growing need
for connectors to assist in preventing excessive EMI leaks from
front panels in telecommunication and data communication
equipment. As these devices become faster and more dense,
this type of protection becomes more important for overall
system performance.
The 360-degree outside flange
completely covers the panel cutout to insure minimal leaks
inherent to front panel designs. Amphenol's MPO die-cast
adapter is constructed with a one-piece body featuring a solid
backwall with a "window" to allow the mating of the MT
ferrules.
This minimizes the aperture of the adapter for

additional EMI protection.
An optional innovative feature of Amphenol MPO adapters is
the fully automatic shutter. This internal shutter mechanism,
located on both sides of the adapter, requires no manual
actuation to receive the benefit of eye safety by simply
inserting the MPO connector. The unique stepped design of the
shutter prevents the ferrule endface from making contact with
the shutter while mating the connector.
The flexible and practical design features, coupled with
Amphenol's MPO cable assemblies, provide the perfect multi-
fiber interconnect solution.
