IEC 61754-7 pdf download – Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components – Fibre optic connector interfaces – Part 7: Type MPO connector family
1 scope
This part of lEC 61754 defines the standard interface dimensions for type MPo family ofconnectors.
2Description
The parent connector for type MPO connector family is a multiway plug connector charac-terized by a rectangular ferrule normally 6,4 mm x 2,5 mm which utilizes two pins of 0,7 mmdiameter as its alignment. It is applicable to a joint of multiple fibres up to 12 fibres by arrayingthem between two pin-positioning holes in the ferrule.Furthermore, it is capable of joining up to24 fibres by arraying them with a two layer arrangement.The connector includes a push-pullcoupling mechanism and a ferrule spring loaded in the direction of the optical axis. Theconnector has a single male key which may be used to orient and limit the relative positionbetween the connector and the component to which it is mated.
Connector interfaces are configured using a female plug without pins, a male plug with pinsfixed and an adaptor as shown in Figure 1.The female plug is intermateable with the male plug.Moreover, connector interfaces between the female plug and the male plug are configured byapplying a backplane housing and a printed board housing instead of the adaptor.
