MPO Field

Transform a standard MPO/MTP® patch cord into a rugged, IP68-sealed connector with a MIL-DTL-38999 Series III shell. No field termination required—install in seconds with a secure Tri-Start thread coupling.

MPO Field integrates a regular MPO/MTP® patch cord into a metallic plug that mates to a panel receptacle using a Tri-Start thread (38999 Series III, size 13). The design protects against shock, vibration, dust, and fluids (IP68), turning a data-center style MPO into an environmental connector for harsh deployments.

Channels: 12 or 24 fibers per connector (SM or MM)
Typical IL: ~0.5 dB; Durability: 500 mating cycles (ΔIL < 0.2 dB)
No field cabling: retrofit your existing MPO cord into the housing
These specs support reliable performance where uptime and repeatability matter.

We deliver factory-terminated assemblies and panel solutions to shorten install time and reduce risk:

Trunks: MPO/MTP®-to-MPO/MTP® (12F/24F; pinned or unpinned)
Fan-outs / Harnesses: MPO/MTP®-to-LC or SC for equipment access
Cassettes & 1U panels: MPO/MTP® rear, LC/SC front for quick turn-ups

Assemblies are built and tested prior to shipment for predictable performance.

Key Features

Environmental sealing (IP68) for dust/fluid ingress protection.
Shock & vibration resistant construction with anti-decoupling under vibration.
MIL-DTL-38999 Series III size-13 shell with Tri-Start thread coupling.
12F / 24F, SM or MM; typical 0.5 dB insertion loss.
500 mating cycles with stable loss—built for repeatable connects/disconnects.

Technical Highlights

Interface: MPO/MTP® inside 38999-III size-13 shell (Tri-Start thread)

Sealing: IP68; shock/vibration resistant, anti-decoupling device

Performance: Typ. 0.5 dB IL (SM/MM); 500 cycles (ΔIL < 0.2 dB)

Cabling method: No field termination required—uses standard MPO patch cord

Applications

Harsh-environment data center nodes, telecom base stations, rail/transport, defense/naval, trackside monitoring, and any installation needing a sealed MPO interface without on-site termination.
