Polarity Issues
Three types of MPO cords in the market, causing a lot of
confusion
Need for a graphical tool to provide wiremap like features
Insertion Loss
Maximum permissible loss of 1.9 dB (40GBASE-SR4 Channel)
Maximum permissible loss of 1.5 dB (100GBASE-SR4 Channel)
Connector loss is critical
MULTI-FIBER CONNECTOR
Polymer ferrule
Multiple fibers in linear array
(for example, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72) in single
connector providing high-density connectivity
Common type is MPO or MTP

Patch cords are easy to access and view compared to the fiber inside the bulkhead, which
is frequently overlooked. The bulkhead side may only be half of the connection, but it is far
more likely to be dirty and problematic.

Connector gender may require three cord reference test
method
Three cord reference test method is recommended for channel
testing (plugs at both ends)
Check the reference!
