The MMC connector offers a very small form factor footprint enabling > 3x density compared to MPO connectors. This density advantage can be leveraged in multiple ways:

• Deployment of the same port count in < 1/3rd of the space​
• Increase of the optical port capacity per rack unit by > 3x​
• Enable increase space around all optical ports

To ensure ease of use in these high density applications, the MMC connector is designed with the DirectConec™ Push-Pull Boot to enable easy access when installing or de-commissioning cabling at a passive patch panel, server, or switch in the network.
