MT-RJ
Connector (‘MT’ ferrule, ‘R’egister
‘J’ack latch)
The MTRJ connector
holds a pair of fibers in a monolithic ferrule made
of a plastic composite. The ferrule is held inside
a plastic body that clips into a coupler with an intuitive
push and click motion, much like the copper RJ-45 jack.
The fibers are aligned by the pair of metal guide pins
in the end of the ferrule of a male connector, which
join into guide pinholes on the female connector inside
the coupler. The MT-RJ connector is an example
of a duplex small form factor connector. Having
the pair of fibers held by a monolithic ferrule makes
it easy to maintain the polarity of connections, and
renders the MT-RJ ideal for applications such as horizontal
fiber runs in facility cabling. |
