The 12F MT Ferrule is a precision-molded PPS component designed for 12-fiber MPO connector assemblies. Its single-row fiber array, together with tightly controlled fiber holes and guide-pin holes, helps achieve accurate fiber positioning and reliable mating performance.

Available in PC and APC versions, the ferrule supports single-mode and multimode fibers in standard-loss and low-loss grades. It can be assembled with matching MT boots for 3.0/3.6 mm round cable, ribbon cable, or bare ribbon fiber termination.

Complying with relevant IEC and Telcordia/GR requirements, the 12F MT Ferrule is suitable for data center, telecom, and other high-density optical connectivity applications.
