MPO is the industry acronym for multi-fiber push-on connectors. MPO type connectors are defined by two different documents:
* IEC 61754-7 is the most common standard for MPO connectors internationally.
* EIA/TIA-604-5, also known as FOCIS 5, is the most common standard in the USA.
These connectors are used in the manufacture of pre-connectorized cables for fiber optic networks at speeds of 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps.
