Nowadays, the common types of Ethernet cables include Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a . Looking similar from the outside, but all of these network cables do have differences in essential.
MTP/MPO cables have multi-core connectors that provide more consistent and reliable performance when used in high-density, low-loss cabling, thus becoming an integral part of 40G/100G data transmission in large data centers. Hence, TIA standards define three types of polarized MTP cables: Type A, Type B, and Type C. Different types of MTP polarity cables may have different applications. In this tutorial, we will mainly introduce type-B polarity MTP cables and their applications.
