Product details

What is the TE Connectivity 1588172-7?

The TE Connectivity 1588172-7 is a simplex, singlemode MPO coupler — a free-hanging in-line adapter that joins two MPO-terminated fiber cables. Both ends are MPO receptacles, so it acts as a splice coupler in a cable run, not a panel-mount bulkhead. The simplex configuration means it handles a single MPO ferrule (one fiber path), and the singlemode designation matches it to singlemode fiber systems for long-haul or high-bandwidth links. A dust cap is included to protect the MPO end face from contamination when unmated.

Where does this sit in the 1588172 series?

The 1588172-7 is the simplex singlemode variant of the 1588172 base product number. The series covers MPO couplers; other members may differ in mode (multimode) or simplex/duplex configuration. The -7 suffix locks in the singlemode, simplex, free-hanging build with dust cap.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the TE Connectivity 1588172-7 and get a price?

The 1588172-7 is available to order against an RFQ. Submit a request through this listing for current pricing and lead time — availability is confirmed at quote time.

Is the 1588172-7 compatible with LC connectors?

No — the 1588172-7 has MPO receptacles on both ends, not LC. It mates only with MPO-terminated patch cords or pigtails. For an LC-to-MPO conversion, you would need a hybrid adapter or a fan-out cable assembly.

What is the difference between simplex and duplex fiber couplers?

A simplex coupler like the 1588172-7 handles a single MPO ferrule (one fiber path). A duplex coupler would have two separate ferrules or two adapter bores for a duplex connector pair. For single-fiber MPO patch cords, simplex is the correct choice.
