The MT-RJ connector was developed to meet growing customer demands for smaller, lower cost, and easier-to-use fiber optic
connectivity. The MT-RJ reduces the space required on panels, wall plates and in closets by 50% throughout the network.
This small form factor connector is ideal for fiber-to-the-desk applications. The design meets TIA requirements.
The MT-RJ uses an improved version of an industry standard RJ-45 type plug. This combination of a small form factor
connector with the familiar RJ-45 latching mechanism ensures the MT-RJ connector to be the perfect choice for horizontal
cabling needs to the desk-top.
Products in the MT-RJ connector solution family will include: field mountable connectors, duplex patchcords, hybrid
patchcords, pigtails, duplex adapters for MT-RJ cut-outs, as well as SC cut-outs, SixPaxs™ panels, hand polishing tooling,
and consumable kits.
The MT-RJ adapter occupies approximately the same space as a simplex SC adapter. When used in conjunction with the
SixPaxs panel, the MT-RJ duplex adapter fits most LGX* style hardware, offering more user-friendly characteristics in high
density applications.
