MT Ferrules
US Conec manufactures durable, composite, Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) based thermoplastic ferrules available with up to 72 fiber holes that terminate 125 micrometer optical fiber. The alignment mechanism consists of two stainless steel guide pins that fit into precisely molded alignment holes. The ferrules are used in conjunction with US Conec’s industry hailed, MTP® brand, MPO type connectors; however, they are also suitable for custom designed passive or active fiber coupling packages. Fiber is secured to the ferrules with an optical connector grade thermal cure epoxy and can be polished with a variety of commercially available batch connector polishing machines. US Conec’s highly stable, PPS material allows preparation of fiber tip protrusion with reduced polishing time and force resulting in superior endface geometry control. US Conec’s MT ferrule is compliant with IEC Standard 61754-5.

Features
• High density; fiber pitch: 0.25mm
• Consistent optical performance for multimode (flat protruded polish) and single-mode (angled protruded polish)
• Extremely low hygroscopic material for exceptional environmental stability
• Mold marks to indicate fiber type and ferrule grade
