The Amphenol Socapex MPO MTP Field connector is a versatile solution that allows users to transform their MPO/MTP patchcord into an environmental connector. With its IP68 rating, this connector is sealed against fluids and dust, making it ideal for use in military communication, base stations, navy, and railways. It is also shock and vibration-proof, ensuring that it can withstand harsh conditions. One of the key advantages of this connector is that it eliminates the need for field termination, which saves time and reduces the risk of errors. Instead, the system allows the use of a standard MPO/MTP patchcord in a metallic plug, which will protect it from shock, dust, and fluids. The metallic plug is connected into a receptacle using a Tri Start Thread coupling mechanism (MIL-DTL-38999 Series III type) with an anti-decoupling device for high vibrations. This coupling mechanism provides a secure and reliable connection that can withstand even the most demanding environments.
The Amphenol Socapex MPO MTP Field connector also boasts a high number of channels, with 12 channels available. It has a typical insertion loss of 0.5dB in MM and SM, and a durability of 500 mating/unmating cycles with changes of less than 0.2 dB. Overall, this connector is an excellent solution for those who need a reliable, high-performance environmental connector for their MPO/MTP patchcords.
