15 MTP vs. MPO: Are They The Same? MTP vs. MPO A Brief Review of the Connector

16 MTP vs. MPO: Are They The Same? MTP: Standards Compliant? The mpo-style connector family is defined by three existing standards. Internationally the mpo style connector is defined by IEC In North America, the mpo-style connector is defined by TIA also known as FOCIS 5. In the EU market the mpo-style connector is defined by CENELEC EN MTP is a US Conec federally registered trademark name for a high performance mpo-style connector. The MTP connector is fully compliant with FOCIS 5, IEC and CENELEC EN Source: USCONEC

17 MTP vs. MPO: Are They The Same? MTP vs. MPO: The Basics MPO Family of connectors are defined within: IEC TIA CENELEC EN MTP is a Refined MPO manufactured by US CONEC MTP has improved and Patented Ferrule Float Improved physical contact during mating

18 MTP vs. MPO: Are They The Same? MTP vs. MPO: The Basics MTP features a Monolithic, High Precision Molded Component Ferrule MTP has lower loss than available from MPO MTP features patented Elliptical Alignment Pins MTP utilizes an Oval Spring to minimize ribbon fiber damage Only the MTP has a removable housing The MTP connector is fully compliant with FOCIS 5, IEC and CENELEC EN

19 MTP A Look at End Face Geometry 24 Total Fiber MTP Interferometer Fiber Protrusion t Scan Showing utilized in MTP End Polishing Face Geometry is between.5um and 5um

20 MTP Connector Color-codes With new 24F MTP systems, users need to be able differentiate between legacy 12F and 24F MTP connectors Leviton worked with industry MTP connector leader USConec to develop color-code standards Fiber Count Legacy 12-fiber 24-fiber Boot Color Black Red 8-fiber Grey

21 Strand Count Requirements Today, a 12-fiber, OM3, MPO-MPO backbone link: Provides up to six full duplex 10Gb/s Tx/Rx link 40GBASE-SR4: Requires a minimum of eight OM3 fibers for a Tx/Rx link 4 fibers Tx 4 fiber Rx Should be able to use installed legacy 10GBASE-SR links 100m length 100GBASE-SR10: Requires a minimum i of f20om3 fibers for Tx/Rx link 10 fibers Tx 10 fibers Rx

26 Migration Plan

27 Migration Plan with 24-fiber Cabling System

28 Opt-X Unity: 10G Channel Configuration Today Plan for future by using a 24-fiber 100G Trunk Use standard MTP-LC modules for 10G Use standard LC Duplex Patch Cords

29 OPT-X Unity: 40G Channel Configuration (Option A) Use same 24-fiber 100G trunk Replace MTP-LC Modules with MTP-MTP Modules that convert 1x24F to 3x8F connections Add 8-fiber MTP Array cords for connection into equipment

30 OPT-X Unity: 100G Channel Configuration Just swap out Modules for Adapter Plates and add 24-fiber MTP Array Cords for connection into your 100G equipment

31 TIA Specified Polarity Methods 3 standards defined, all are mutually incompatible Defined dtia methods: Method A & C Support 2-Strand applications (primarily) Requires use of special component to correct polarity (different array cord) Method B( (only method defined d within EN ) 1) No polarity-correcting components Supports 2-Strand and Parallel applications Simple migration path from 2-Strand to Parallel usage

32 TIA Specified Polarity Methods Method A Different Array Cords Method B Same Array Cords Method C Different Array Cords

33 TIA Specified Polarity: A Look at Method B Utilization in today s 10G systems, a key reasons for using Method B: Method B backbone allows for simple usage within a current 10G system. Use of a simple MTP LC Harness cable or the implementation of a cassette based connectivity strategy allows for the creation of a forward looking infrastructure ideally suited to higher speed migration.

34 TIA Specified Polarity: A Look at Method B Simple Migration, a Key reasons for using Method B: Simple upgrade to 40/100G When ready for 40G usage, simply replace harness / cassette with an MTP MTP multi-fiber array cord. Same MTP Array cord on both ends of channel Trunk cable can be used to direct connect equipment

35 Recommended Option: Method B Polarity Leviton will be able to offer all 3 polarity methods, but our standard will be Method B Key reasons for using Method B: Will be easier for user to upgrade to 40/100G Same MTP Array cord on both ends of channel Trunk cable can be used to direct connect equipment Interoperable with other cabling plants

36 Parameters for designing 40/100G networks Performance of existing 10G networks Channel Insertion Loss Budget Channel Distance Connector Insertion Loss System Polarity Reduced fiber strand loss Design flexibility l for equipment architecture

37 Summary of Benefits of 24-fiber MTP Cabling Simpler migration to 40/100G Lower cost of ownership &High hroi Much higher density at least 2X Lower risk when upgrading to 40 or 100G Utilizes 100% of optical fibers to support 40/100G Fewer trunks required for same fiber count Reduction in cable pathway fill

38 Understanding: The Complete Picture Industry trends are showing: Higher cost and power consumption of SM solutions Multi-lane transmission (parallel & WDM) & Higher lane rates Understanding: Cabling infrastructures will be required to: OM4 fiber Support today s duplex technology while allowing for migration directly to parallel applications Is now standardized Supports a broader wavelength spectrum, longer lengths and possibly higher data rates Is seen being adopted by leading applications Designer and Managers should provide an infrastructure t solution utilizing: i OM4 (preferred) or OM3 (minimum) optical fiber Array cabling that will allow for an upgrade from duplex to parallel optics Utilize a low loss MPO (MTP) connectivity components
