MTP™ Connector (‘M’ultiple ‘T’erminations, ‘P’ush-pull latch)

An MTP™ connector can house up to twelve and sometimes more optical fibers in a single, monolithic ferrule.  The same style of monolithic ferrule provides a basis for other connectors, such as the MPO.  The MT-style connectors save space by providing at least twelve potential connections with a single ferrule, replacing up to twelve single-fiber connectors.  MTP™ connectors provide an intuitive push-pull latching mechanism for easy insertion.  MTP is a trade mark of USConec.
