Change Polarity in the Field
The MTP® PRO tool provides a one-step, color-coded polarity change without opening the connector housing.
MTP PRO PATCH CORDS
Low-loss, bend-insensitive MTP® PRO patch cords designed for high-density data center connectivity with field polarity and pin reconfiguration—without removing the connector housing.
High-density MTP® links can require polarity or pinning changes during installation, migration or maintenance. With a conventional connector, these changes may require a different assembly or more invasive connector handling.
The MTP® PRO system is designed to simplify that field change. The dedicated tool reverses keying configuration and supports pin reconfiguration without removing the connector housing or handling loose pins, reducing rework during moves, adds and changes.

Reconfigure Male / Female Pinning
Field-changeable guide pins provide flexibility when connector pinning must change after deployment.
Protect Connector Integrity
The reconfiguration method is designed to avoid loose-pin handling while preserving the connector housing.
Control Optical Performance
MTP® PRO Elite connectors, IL/RL testing and interferometer ferrule-geometry verification support predictable link performance.
