MXC® fiber optic connectors and cable assemblies enable the integration of up to 64 fibers per ferrule, achieving speeds of up to 1.6 terabits per second (Tbps) for cutting-edge communication systems. The MXC connectors and assemblies feature an advanced expanded beam lens design, effectively addressing common issues encountered with traditional physical contact products. This design enhances resistance to contaminants, elevates connection reliability, and simplifies installation processes. Aligned with the optical interconnect technology endorsed by the Open Compute Consortium, MXC connectors and cable assemblies cater to hyperscale data centers and disaggregation solutions, offering unparalleled density and user-friendliness in optical connectors. Additionally, cable assemblies equipped with MXC connectors are adaptable for standard jumper cable applications or can be seamlessly paired with Fibertronics, Inc. optical engines. We offer a diverse range of cable assembly configurations tailored to your specific design prerequisites.
