ULTEM™ RESINS USED IN MULTI-FIBER PUSH ON (MPO) CONNECTORS
A great advantage of MPO is the bundling of 8-32 connections in one plug. This improves handling, space and costs versus the use of individual fiber connections. However, the alignment of the rows of fibers is a key challenge, introducing potential insertion loss and reflection issues.
SABIC’s ULTEM resins are often used for multi-fiber push on (MPO) connectors in high- speed data centers and optical fiber networks. The high-performance material can address the fiber alignment issue thanks to its excellent dimensional stability under a wide range
of temperatures and moisture levels. In addition, the high strength, high modulus and practical ductility of ULTEM resins can help enable advanced design features like thin-wall components with precise connections.
