Overview
The MTRJ female singlmode connector is a high-density, small form factor (SFF) duplex fiber optic connector. By utilizing a single plastic ferrule to house two optical fibers, it provides twice the port density compared to standard duplex SC connectors, making it an efficient choice for space-constrained network environments.
Designed for ease of use, the connector features a user-friendly connection system similar to the standard RJ-45 copper plug. This connector is specifically configured as a female type, which contains no guide pins, and is equipped with a 3.0mm boot for cable strain relief. It is well-suited for backbone cabling, horizontal cabling, local area networks (LAN), and various telecommunication system applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a male and female MTRJ connector?
An MTRJ male connector contains guide pins, while a female connector (such as this one) does not. They are designed to mate with each other.
Does this connector require a special tool for termination?
Yes, MTRJ connectors typically require specific termination procedures and tools suitable for the MTRJ connector interface.
Can this connector be used with multimode fiber?
This specific part is designated for singlemode applications. Please verify your fiber type before installation.
What size cable is this boot designed for?
This connector includes a 3.0mm boot, making it compatible with 3.0mm jacketed fiber optic cabling.
How does MTRJ density compare to SC connectors?
MTRJ connectors provide twice the port density of duplex SC connectors because the MTRJ ferrule holds two fibers in a footprint the same size as a simplex SC connector.
