scope:

Covers Type MPO fibre optic connector sets. Type MPO defines a multiway connector characterised by a rectangular ferrule nominally 6,4 mm x 2,5 mm which utilises two pins of 0,7 mm diameter as its allignment technology. It is applicable to a joint of multiple fibres by arranging them between two pin-positioning holes in the plug. The connector includes a push-pull coupling mechanism and a ferrule spring loaded in the direction of the optical axis. The connector has a single male key which may be used to orientate and limit the elative position between the connector and the component to which it is mated.
