12Fiber MTP Patch Cord Application
MPO Connector Polarity Configurations
MPO connectors have two characteristics that enable them to change the path of optical signals
(signal polarity). First, MPO connectors hold a group of fibers in fixed positions relative to some
keying feature. Second, they can be used to construct patch cords in two different orientations,
either key-up/key-up or key-up/key-down.
Key-up/Key-Down Construction
When a patch cord is constructed in a key-up / key-down configuration, the fiber arrangement
on both connectors is identical about the vertical axis (the fiber arrangement is not mirrored).
For example, on connector A the blue fiber is to the left with the key up, and on connector B
the blue fiber is also to the left with the key up. Signals input on the left side of connector A
will be output on the left side of connector B.
Key-up/Key-down Patch cords Do Not Mirror About the Vertical Axis
