Since the optical module's MPO interface is typically male, an MPO female connector is required for linkage. In MPO and MTP fiber connector systems, Male vs Female and Pin vs No-Pin describe the same core engineering attribute: the presence or absence of alignment pins on the MT ferrule. Unlike single-fiber connectors such as LC or SC, this distinction is not optional terminology but a mandatory. As traffic surges to 100G, 400G, and even 800G, single-fiber connectors like LC or SC struggle to keep up with density requirements. Imagine managing thousands of single-core jumpers in one row, it quickly turns into a spaghetti nightmare. Compact. We usually use more optical modules generally for the LC interface or MPO interface, different interfaces of the optical module to use the corresponding interface to connect the jumper, LC interface in all rates of optical modules have its figure, while the MPO interface is usually in the high. MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) connector is a multi-channel, multi-core plug-in connector.
