the optical fiber jumper

Generally speaking, the optical fiber jumper is a medium between the equipment and the optical fiber wiring equipment, and has a thick protective layer. It is generally used for the connection between optical transceivers and terminal boxes, and is used in some fields such as optical fiber communication systems, optical fiber access networks, optical fiber data transmission, and local area networks. So what is an MPO fiber optic jumper and what types are there? The following will specifically introduce the MPO fiber optic jumper in this article.

01

What is an MPO jumper

MPO fiber optic jumper, MPO (Multi-fiberPushOn) connector is one of the MT series connectors. The ferrule of the MT series uses two guide holes and guide pins with a diameter of 0.7mm on the left and right sides of the ferrule end face (also called PIN needle) for precise connection. MPO connectors and optical fiber cables can be processed to produce various forms of MPO jumpers. MPO jumpers can be designed with 2~12 cores, and can be up to 24 cores. Currently, 12-core MPO connectors are most used. The compact design of the MPO connector makes the MPO jumper more cores and smaller in size.

Application range of MPO fiber optic jumper

MPO is used in the LAN wiring between different buildings of the enterprise. In the optical active equipment, the optical link is interconnected and communicated. The wiring in the base station, the wiring in the distribution box, the residential area, the industrial park computer room, and the optical signal connection in the computer room of the commercial building. systems, cable television networks, telecommunication networks Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), FTTx.

Matters needing attention during wiring of MPO jumpers

1. Try to avoid opening the dustproof cap of the fiber jumper before docking. Try not to remove the dust cap from the adapter interface that has been connected to the adapter panel and has not yet been docked.
2. Except for normal docking, do not let the connector grinding end face contact or scratch with any other objects.
3. If there is foreseeable contamination of the end surface, try to use special cleaning tools or dust-free paper soaked in absolute ethanol to clean the end surface. Do not use paper towels, cotton wool, ordinary cotton swabs and other items to clean the end surface.
4. When docking the connector, confirm the direction of the connector positioning key and insert the adapter or socket panel axially, and do not repeatedly insert and pull out when the end face cannot be viewed.
5. When the MPO connector is inserted into the adapter, pay attention to hold the tail sleeve of the connector, and hold the housing of the connector when pulling it out.
6. When bending the cable, keep the bending radius equal to or greater than 20 times the outer diameter of the cable.
7. When bundling the cables, keep the tightness appropriate, and the cable sheath should not be severely deformed.
8. When perforating the cable and threading the pipe, use the method of pushing and pulling at the same time. Do not drag or push the cable vigorously to prevent scratches that may cause the cable to break or break.
