SN-MT Patchcord

The SN-MT patchcord provides quick connection specifically for multifiber cable, up to 16 fibers.

The SN®-MT is a next generation multifiber connector available in 8 and 16 fibers in one row. It allows 2.7x increase density compared to MTP/MPO-16 fibers.

The new multifiber SN®-MT connector is the same footprint as duplex SN connector.

Available SN-MT trunk cables or fan-out from SN®-MT to single fibers connectors: FC, LC, SC, etc.

  • Carries a maximum of 16-fiber in a row
  • Same connector footprint as SN duplex
  • Carries many features from the SN Duplex
  • The industry’s highest density connector
  • Fiber density per 1RU is improved by
    • 2.7x over MPO-16F
    • 1.3x over MPO-32F
  • Insertion loss targeted 0.35 dB max for SM
Specifications of connector1: Single mode, 12/16 fibers, low loss
Typical Insertion Loss (dB) 0.15
Max Insertion Loss (dB) 0.35
Typical Return Loss (dB) ≥60
Operating Temperature (°C) – 40 to +75
Durability SM <0.3 dB typical change, 50 matings

Note: 1) Parameters listed are target specifications.

  • Patchords - high density up to 16 fibers
  • Fan-out cord with single fiber connectors
  • Pluggable transceiver interface - 4x SN-MT fit in QSFP footprint
  • Direct coupling to emerging 16 fiber parallel optic links (8 Tx / 8 Rx,e.g. 400G QSFP-DD, OSFP)
  • Inside box mid-board interconnect
