MTP® connectors comply with IEC 61754-7 and TIA-604-5 (FOCIS 5) interface standards, GR-1435-CORE for high-density optical reliability, and TIA-568-C. Performance testing follows GR-326-CORE and IEC 61300 series. The MTP ® connector design offers novel patented features, enhanced precision, proven reliability, and significant performance improvements compared to the standard MPO. There are standards for ferrules and connectors. It is important to know the standards for what you are assembling. Nonetheless, they are available with up to 72 optical fibers within a single ferrule (6 rows 12 fibers). MTP® is US Conec's trademarked, enhanced MPO connector with tighter mechanical tolerances and lower loss, fully compliant and interoperable. Though MTP®® brand connectors are fully compliant with MPO standards and are fully compatible with MPO brand connectors, nevertheless, MTP®® connectors are not totally the same as MPO connectors.
