The MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) connector is designed to handle multiple fiber strands in a single connector, and it is commonly used with high-density transceivers like QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable).

QSFP can support up to four channels (hence " quad " ), and MPO connectors can interface multiple fibers (e.g., 8, 12, 24), making them ideal for 40Gbps or 100Gbps deployments.

RJ45 (A) is used for Ethernet over copper.

ST (B) and LC (C) are single-fiber connectors — they don ' t support the multi-fiber needs of QSFP setups.

✅ Therefore, MPO is the correct connector type for this use case.
