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 Molex High Density Metric (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. BMTP units can also be used as stand alone press fits and/or screw mounting to the card edge. 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 gold 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. *MTP is a registered trademark of US Conec Ltd.
