MT stands for mechanical transfer. The MT ferrule is a multi-core polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) ferrule with a square end-face of 6.4×2.5 mm and 0.25mm pitch. The alignment mechanism consists of two stainless steel guide pins that fit into precisely molded alignment holes. MT ferrules are widely applied in multiple optical connectors like MPO and QSFP+ active optical cables (AOC cable), and 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. FSG’s highly stable, PPS material MT ferrule allows preparation of fiber tip protrusion with reduced polishing time and force resulting in superior end-face geometry control. FSG MT ferrule are available from 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32cores, of them 12 and 24 fiber MT ferrules are the most commonly used types, particularly for MPO connectors.
MT to Fiber Array assembly can be used inside of an optical device package as light output /input which has MPO connector to system board instead of using long fiber and rubber boots outside the device. Therefore it can reduce the package size and fiber routing space.
