The MT-RJ uses an improved version of an industry standard RJ-45 type plug. This combination of a small form factor connector with the familiar RJ-45 latching mechanism ensures the MT-RJ connector to be the perfect choice for horizontal cabling needs to the desk-top.

The MT-RJ adapter occupies approximately the same space as a simplex SC adapter. An MT-RJ Adapter with SC style housing is also available for applications where SC footprint is required.
