Fiber jumpers are widely used in data centers, and the demand for bandwidth in high-density data center fiber transmission systems has shown a high growth trend in recent years, so the use of a new generation of fiber and optical modules can continue to explore the potential for fiber network bandwidth growth. Because multimode fiber jumper has a great advantage in terms of cost, it has an absolute advantage in data center applications.
Under the continuous drive of the application and promotion of network media in the cloud computing environment, multi-mode fiber jumpers are also developing, from OM1 to OM2, and from OM3 to OM4, the VCSEL laser optimization technology is used, and the bandwidth demand is growing. The introduction of the new OM4 multi-mode jumper fiber standard EIA/TIA492AAAD provides a better transmission method for the future wide application of multi-mode fiber. This article will provide an ideal communication solution for your data centers, servers, network switches, telecommunication exchanges, and many other embedded applications that require high-speed data transfer.
In the transmission port connection devices in 40G/100G data transmission applications, such as QSFP optical modules, regardless of how many fiber connections are used for high-density data center fibers, and regardless of the type of fiber connection, they will be directly connected through MTP/MPO connectors. Because the channel connection between 40G/100G data transmission application devices and devices needs to form a special mode in order to make the transmitter and receiver channels of the device correspond to each other, MTP/MPO connectors are required to complete the connection.
MPO/MTP fiber jumpers can provide a variety of applications for all networks and devices that require 100G modules. They feature the MT Series bushings design for the high-density multimode fiber connector systems industry, MPO/MTP fiber jumpers with UPC and APC polished ends, and support both multimode and single-mode applications. Combined with VCSEL's laser and LED light sources, 10G OM3 /OM4 MPO/MTP fiber jumpers provide data transfer rates of 10Gbps in high-bandwidth applications, which is five times faster than standard 50um fiber jumpers.
At the same time, multimode MPO/MTP fiber jumpers are also the most common high-density data center fibers. Single-mode MPO/MTP fiber jumpers are mainly used for data transmission systems over long distances. MPO/MTP backbone jumpers are designed for data center applications. Typically, single-mode and multi-mode MPO/MTP fiber jumpers are designed as round cables with an outer diameter of 3mm or 4.5mm, and the connectors at both ends of the cable are also called MPO/MTP connectors.
At present, MPO/MTP high-density push-pull fiber jumpers are mainly used in three aspects: high-density cabling data centers, fiber to the home, and connection applications with splitters, 40G/100G QSFP+, SFP+ and some other optical modules. Today, there is a wide range of high-density parallel optical interconnection products that can accommodate fiber transmission in modern data centers, such as custom MPO/ MTP fiber jumpers, multimode fiber loopers, and QSFP+ high-speed cable assemblies.
The growth of server virtualization and cloud computing, as well as the trend toward network convergence and high-density data center fiber, has led to the need for faster and more efficient data center networks. At present, 10G switches composed of 48 10G channels are mainly limited to SFP+ modules for connection. In order to meet the higher bandwidth requirements, users can use high-density QSFP+ high-speed cables to complete the connection, by increasing the data transmission rate of each channel and increasing the port density to meet the high bandwidth requirements of customers.
