A 144-core MPO/MTP fiber optic patch panel refers to a high-density fiber optic panel designed to accommodate up to 144 fibers using MPO/MTP connectors.
Here's a breakdown of what this typically means:
Core Count: "144-core" indicates the number of individual optical fibers that can be terminated in the patch panel. Each "core" refers to one fiber strand within a cable.
MPO/MTP Connectors: MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) and MTP (Multi-fiber Termination Push-On) connectors are commonly used for high-density fiber applications. They allow multiple fibers (typically 12 or 24 fibers per connector) to be connected simultaneously, which is crucial for achieving high fiber counts like 144.
Patch Panel: A patch panel is a housing or enclosure that provides termination, organization, and management of fiber optic cables and their connectors. It allows for easy connection and reconfiguration of fibers for network applications.
Key features and considerations for a 1-144 core MPO/MTP fiber optic patch panel might include:
High Density: Able to accommodate a large number of fibers in a compact space, reducing footprint and easing cable management.
Modularity: Typically designed with modular MPO/MTP cassettes or modules, which can be easily inserted or removed for maintenance or expansion.
Scalability: Capable of scaling up or down depending on network requirements, by adding or removing cassettes/modules.
Performance: Ensures low insertion loss and high return loss to maintain signal integrity over long distances.
Compatibility: Should be compatible with standard MPO/MTP connectors and fiber types (single-mode or multimode).
