8CH 250 μm Pitch Lidless SM Fiber Array to 12-Fiber MTP/APC Female Connector

8CH 250 μm Pitch Lidless SM Fiber Array to 12-Fiber MTP/APC Female Connector

The 8CH SM Fiber Array to MTP/APC assembly is a single-mode multi-channel fiber interconnect configured with an A0° lidless fiber array and a 12-fiber MTP/APC female connector using the middle eight fiber positions.

• 8-channel single-mode fiber array — provides parallel optical interfaces for multi-channel component and subsystem integration.
• 250 μm fiber pitch — establishes a defined channel spacing for alignment with compatible optical devices and assemblies.
• A0° lidless fiber array structure — provides direct access to the fiber-array end face for optical coupling and packaging.
• 12-fiber MTP/APC female connector using the middle 8 positions — interfaces the 8-channel array with a 12-position connector format while reserving the outer positions.
• Insertion loss below 0.3 dB — limits optical loss through each specified array-to-connector path.
• Return loss above 50 dB — helps control reflected optical power within the connected fiber path.
• Corning SMF-28e fiber — provides a defined single-mode fiber platform for system integration.
• 2.0 mm yellow protected cable with 1 m-class overall length — supports routing and handling between the fiber array and MTP interface.

• Multi-channel optical component coupling
• Fiber array module integration
• PLC and AWG optical coupling
• Optical transceiver subassemblies
• Passive optical component packaging
• Multi-channel optical test equipment
• Fiber-to-device interconnection
• OEM photonic subsystem integration

Optical performance can be tested according to the agreed specification. Key parameters are verified before shipment, including insertion loss and return loss when included in the approved inspection criteria. Test reports can be provided upon request. Customized inspection requirements can be discussed, including channel mapping, fiber-array geometry, connector orientation, optical-path testing, and mechanical inspection.

• Defined 8-to-12 channel interface: Eight active fibers are mapped into the middle positions of a 12-fiber MTP/APC connector for structured multi-channel integration.
• Compact fiber-array geometry: The 250 μm pitch and lidless 10 * 3.5 * 1.5 mm FA format support space-conscious optical packaging.
• Project-specific channel mapping: MTP position assignment, FA channel orientation, connector key direction, and fiber routing can be defined through the assembly drawing.
• Optical testing support: IL and RL can be verified according to the agreed channel-by-channel requirements.
• Suitable for prototype and production integration: The assembly configuration can be reviewed for sample validation and subsequent quantity requirements.

It provides an eight-channel single-mode optical interface between a compact fiber array and an MTP connector for multi-channel optical devices and modules.

The fiber array uses a 250 μm pitch.

The specified fiber is Corning SMF-28e single-mode fiber.

The connector has twelve physical fiber positions, while this assembly uses only the middle eight positions. Based on the supplied definition, positions 3 through 10 are active.

A0° specifies the fiber-array end-face angle as 0°. It is separate from the APC end-face configuration of the MTP connector.

No. The supplied configuration is lidless.

Yes. Optical performance can be tested according to the agreed specification, and test reports can be provided upon request.

Please provide the operating wavelength, channel count, fiber type, fiber pitch, FA angle, connector type, active MTP positions, fiber length, package requirement, target optical specifications, and estimated quantity.

For a technical review or quotation, please provide the required operating wavelength, channel count, fiber type, connector type, fiber length, package requirement, target optical specifications, and estimated quantity. For this type of assembly, the fiber pitch, FA end-face angle, MTP channel mapping, polarity, connector key orientation, and mechanical drawing should also be included.
