MPO / MTP® SC Footprint Type Fiber Adapter – Reduced Flange
MPO/MTP® Fiber Adapter provides alignment for a male and female MPO/MTP® connector. The housing is available with MPO/MTP® or SC footprint, aligned or opposed alignment keys, different colors and with options for flange or flangeless body. MPO/MTP® fiber adapter has two types as key-up to key-down and key-up to key-up. It provides the connection between cable to cable or cable to equipment in the MTP®/MPO style. It works for any MTP® Connector from 4 fibers to 72 fiber, widely used in trunk cabling and cassettes. This adapter meets appropriate standards and is perfect for your parallel optics and MTP® adapter needs. MPO/MTP® fiber optical adapter comply with industry standard TIA – 568C. 3-2008 (standard of fiber optical system) and YD/T1272.5-2009 (fiber optical connector part v: MPO style).
- MPO/MTP® adapters are designed to connect and align MPO or MTP® connectors, which are multi-fiber push-on connectors often used in high-density fiber networks (e.g., data centers).
- The SC footprint means the adapter size matches the dimensions of an SC simplex adapter, enabling compatibility with standard SC adapter cutouts in patch panels or cassettes.
- Reduced flange means the mounting flange surrounding the adapter is smaller than standard, allowing for higher port density with minimal spacing between adapters.
Key Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Connector Type | MPO or MTP® (compatible with 8, 12, 16, 24-fiber connectors) |
| Format | SC footprint (fits in SC simplex mounting holes) |
| Flange | Reduced (narrow/small) flange for higher-density installations |
| Application | Data centers, high-density cabling, patch panels, fiber cassettes |
| Alignment Sleeve | High precision, typically made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) or zirconia ceramic for accuracy |
| Mounting | Panel-mountable, small rectangular SC footprint cutout |
| Insertion Loss | Low (<0.2dB typical), depending on quality |
| Color | Often black or aqua, but may vary by modality (single-mode vs. multimode) |

Summary Table
| Adapter Type | Footprint | Flange Type | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPO/MTP® | SC | Reduced Flange | High density in SC adapter slots |
Use Cases
- High-density data center patch panels/cassettes
- Modular fiber enclosures where SC cutouts are standard
- Upgrading legacy panels for ultra-high fiber count demands
Ordering Tips
If you need to order:
- Double-check footprint size (SC) and flange type (reduced vs. standard).
- Ensure compatibility with connector type (MPO/MTP®).
- For ultra-high density, reduced flange is preferred.
- Get from reputable vendors for lowest insertion loss and best alignment.
