ÖVE EN 186290

This specification covers Type MPO fibre optic connector sets. Type MPO defines a multiway connector characterised bya rectangular ferrule nominally 6,4 mm x 2,5 mm which utilises two pins of 0,7 mm diameter as its alignment 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 relative position between the connector and the component to which it is mated. The specification contains the requirements for type MPO connector sets.
