Let’s see the basic composition and features of MPO/MTP connector.
The main parts of MPO connector
①Boot → ②Crimp ring → ③Spring push → ④Spring →⑤Female Pin Spacer → ⑥MT ferrule → ⑦Outer housing → ⑧Dust cap
The difference between female and male MPO connector
1：MPO male connector has pins
2：MPO female connector has no pins
Now let’s compare the differences between the 16/32F series and the 12/24F series
Their difference lies mainly in their structure
1. Outer housing
The differences lie mainly in the position and size of the key on the outer housing;
The key of 12/24F series is in the middle of the outer housing and the width is relatively wider than that of 16/32F series;
The key of 16/32F series is on one side of the outer housing and the width is relatively thinner than that of 12/24F series.
2. MT Ferrule
There are differences in the number and sizes of ferrules;
The MT ferrule of 12/24F series is single-row 1X12-core/double-row 2X12-core (see Figure 5);
The MT ferrule of 16/32F series is single-row 1x16-core/double-row 2X16-core (see Figure 6).
