High density MT cable assemblies
3 October 2007
Interconnection
The new High Density MT Cable Assemblies from Molex create multiple space-saving options on the front panel by making configurations of up to 72 fibres possible, while reducing installation times and lowering applied costs. By using the 72-fibre MT ferrule with both MTP connectors and Molex's high-density panel mount array connectors, these new assemblies extend the optical capabilities of traditional MT-style connectors.
These assemblies are ideal for a variety of high density interconnects such as OE modules, PC cards and patch panels, optical backplanes, optical switches and routers, and data communication centres. Over the past year, Molex has developed termination and polishing capabilities to achieve insertion loss levels that are comparable to those of 24-fibre terminations. As a result, these assemblies have an optical insertion loss (IL) below 1,0 dB across all 72 channels.
The assemblies offer standard MPO/MTP connecter interfaces to ensure industry compatibility. For customers that have implemented 12-fibre transceivers on their card, a 72-fibre cable assembly with six bare ribbon breakouts provides a smooth transition on the front panel, which saves valuable real-estate with a single 72-fibre MTP interconnect.
