MMC Connector
Cutting-edge connector that outperforms MPO and delivers a substantial footprint reduction
- The MMC* connector enables deployment of next-generation, high-density, multi-fibre cabling solutions.
- It integrates a compact multi-fibre ferrule with a remarkably small connector footprint, measuring only one-third the size of the MPO format.
(*) Compliant with US Conec design

Specially designed ferrule for a 24-fibre configuration
- These 24 fibres are organised in two distinct rows.
- The MMC connector was built according to the proven standard of 24-MT mechanical and fibre arrangement structure.
- It can support applications that require ganged insertion.
Applications
The MMC connector provides high density fibre-optic cabling solutions that surpass the limitations of existing MPO technology.

Compared to the MPO, it achieves a fibre patch panel density that is 3x higher
- 24 multi-mode fibre MMC with 216 ports per 1U rack allows for a total of 5184 fibres in one unit.
- Through ganged insertion, the MMC connector enhances connector density.
Small form factor on-board optic connectivity
- Each transceiver can accommodate up to 96 fibre connections.
- The housing with a smaller footprint that can be mounted on-board or behind panel walls.
