Yes, MTP (Multi-Fiber Termination Push-On) and MPO (Multi-Fiber Push-On) are compatible. In fact, MTP is a specific brand name for a type of MPO connector developed by US Conec. MPO is a generic term that refers to multi-fiber connectors that comply with the international standard IEC-61754-7.

MTP connectors are essentially a type of MPO connector that meets certain performance and quality standards set by US Conec. They are widely used in high-density fiber optic applications, such as data centers, where multiple fibers need to be connected quickly and efficiently.

The key feature of MTP/MPO connectors is their ability to accommodate multiple fibers within a single connector. They use a push-pull latching mechanism for easy insertion and removal, and the array of fibers can range from 8 to 72 fibers, depending on the connector type.

So, MTP connectors are a specific type of MPO connector that meets certain standards, and they are compatible with other MPO connectors as long as they adhere to the same standards.
