Designed for 5G xHaul BBU-RRU/AAU links, metro aggregation outdoor cabinets, data center interconnect (DCI) outdoor segments and high-density carrier fiber distribution nodes, ZGT’s MPO waterproof connector solution integrates multi-fiber high-density connectivity with IP67/IP68 environmental protection, delivering reliable and efficient optical interconnection for carrier-grade outdoor telecom networks.

Key Features

01｜Multi-Fiber High-Density with IP67/IP68 Sealing

Combining standard 12-fiber or 24-fiber MPO ferrule technology with a ruggedized waterproof housing, multi-stage O-ring gaskets and threaded coupling, the MPO waterproof connector achieves IP67/IP68 ingress protection while supporting high-count fiber termination in a single interface. It dramatically reduces the number of outdoor connection points and sealing risks compared with individual SC/LC waterproof connectors, ideal for high-density fiber routing in 5G base stations and metro hubs.

02｜Carrier-Grade Outdoor Weather Reliability

Built with UV-resistant engineering plastics, corrosion-resistant metal coupling rings and compression sealing boots, the solution withstands extreme temperature cycling, UV exposure, heavy rain, salt spray, wind-induced vibration and cable tension. Compliant with Telcordia GR-326 and IEC 61753-1 outdoor standards, it ensures stable, maintenance-free operation at tower bases, pole-mounted nodes and underground duct handover points across the full telecom network lifecycle.

03｜Rapid Deployment & Large-Capacity Interconnect

The MPO waterproof connector enables one-time mating of 12 or 24 fibers, significantly accelerating field deployment, link expansion and emergency restoration at remote outdoor telecom sites. Combined with pre-terminated waterproof MPO trunk cables, it supports plug-and-play installation without on-site fusion splicing, reducing construction time and OPEX for 5G xHaul and DCI network rollout.

04｜Standard Optical Performance & Broad Network Compatibility

Retaining low insertion loss and high return loss per IEC 61754-7 and Telcordia GR-326 specifications, the waterproof structure does not degrade MPO optical performance. It is fully compatible with standard hardened MPO adapters and supports single-mode G.652D/G.657 and multimode OM3/OM4/OM5 fibers, enabling 40G/100G/400G/800G transmission across 5G xHaul, DWDM, OTN and data center interconnect networks.
