FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

Part 7-1: Type MPO connector family –
One fibre row
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61754 defines the standard interface dimensions for type MPO family of
connectors with one row of fibres.
2 Description
The parent connector for type MPO connector family is a multiway plug characterized by a
rectangular ferrule normally 6,4 mm × 2,5 mm which utilizes two pins of 0,7 mm diameter as its
alignment. The variant in this standard provides a joint of 2 to 12 fibres by arraying them
between two pin-positioning holes in the ferrule in a one-layer, (one-row) arrangement. The
connector includes a push-pull coupling mechanism and a ferrule spring loaded in the direction
of the optical axis. The connector has a single male key which may be used to orient and limit
the relative position between the connector and the component to which it is mated.
Connector interfaces are configured using a female plug without pins, a male plug with pins
fixed and an adaptor as shown in Figure 1. The female plug is intermateable with the male plug.
There are two angled-interface plugs, one called down-angled and the other up-angled. They
are defined for both male and female plugs. The up and down descriptors refer to the tilt
direction of the ferrule’s angled end-face relative to the fibre axis when looking toward the end-
face with the plug’s key feature on the top. For down-angled plugs, the angled surface faces
slightly downward. For up-angled plugs, the angled surface faces slightly upward. These
different angles affect intermateability for the two adaptor types. An opposed keyway adaptor
mates two plugs with the keys in opposite orientations, for example one side keyway-up and
the other keyway-down
