Development of MT Ferrule for Low-Loss 24MPO Connector

摘要

In this paper, we describe a design and characteristics of the newly developed two-dimensional array 24-fiber MT (Mechanically Transferable) ferrule. We have developed the ferrule that has higher accurate holes' position than conventional. We have evaluated characteristics of 24-fiber MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On)[1][2][3] connector utilized this ferrule by single-mode fiber with angled polish. And we have succeeded in the low-loss type [4] 24-fiber MPO connector that has more excellent optical characteristics than conventional.
