MPO connector in QSFP

The standard specifies MPO12 (or MTP12) as connector to the SR4 QSFP, which employs traditionally 12 fibres, but 40G only need 8 (4 pairs) to carry the 4 parallels bidirectional paths. You might know that QSFPs can be programmed to operate as 4 x 10G. MPO QSFP refers to QSFP transceiver module that use MPO fiber connectors to enable parallel optical transmission for high-speed Ethernet links such as 40Gbps and 100Gbps. These modules are widely deployed in modern data centers because they support higher port density and simplified trunk cabling. The QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module that uses an MPO (Multi-Fiber Push On) connector has become a must-have accessory in high-data-rate communication systems through 850nm multimode fiber connectivity. 40G SR4 and eSR4 are not supported for use over MMF OM1 or OM2 quality fiber. Offer low insertion loss and cross talk plus excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) containment.
