Features and Benefits
The Molex Backplane MTP* (BMTP) interconnect
system is designed to offer an industry standard user
interface with the versatility of a blind mating card
edge connector. Based on the NTT MT ferrule and MTP
push-pull ribbon fiber connector, the BMTP interconnect
is a high density solution for today's space constrained
fiber optic systems.
The BMTP is Telcordia GR-1435-CORE compliant and
is also designed to be compatible within the HDM
electrical backplane interconnect system. The BMTP
system utilizes units which contain 1 MT ferrule and 1
MTP connector interface. Units can be ganged together
within the HDM stiffener bar along with robust single
or dual stainless steel guide pins, offering single unit
insertion for ease of manufacturing.
The BMTP can be configured for either multimode
or singlemode ribbon fiber by simply using the
appropriate MT ferrule and MTP connector. The system
also supports the MTP low loss high performance
MT ferrule technology which offers improved
singlemode performance. The BMTP interconnect can
be incorporated into a total optical backplane solution
when used in combination with optical flex circuitry.
