A network engineer is tasked with overseeing the upgrade of a data center's fiber optic system to support higher bandwidth and reduce cable clutter. They are considering the use of MPO connectors. Which of the following is an advantage of using MPO connectors in this scenario?
Enhances electrical isolation to prevent signal leakage between cables
Allows the transmission of signals over a single fiber to minimize interference
Supports simultaneous connection of multiple fibers, reducing physical space requirements
Decreases the maximum transmission distance achievable
MPO connectors can interface multiple fibers (typically 12 or 24) at once, which significantly reduces the physical space required for the cables and enhances the overall manageability and scalability of the network infrastructure. This is particularly advantageous in a high-density environment like a data center where space and cable management are critical factors. Answer choices mentioning single-fiber applications or lower scalability offer less relevance and practical benefit in the context of upgrading to higher bandwidth capacity in data centers.
