Compliance & Compatibility
The TMT ferrule format is compliant with the IEC 61755 and 61754 precision alignment structure for MT and MT-16 ferrules, enabling compatibility with MPO cabling and compatibility with all fiber types.
Designed with fiber holes on a 250 µm pitch, the MMC is compatible with standard 250 µm OD single mode and multi-mode fibers in addition to smaller OD fibers, including 200 µm and 165 µm, allowing ease for design today with flexibility for migration to future technologies.
Adapter Configurations
Multiple adapter configurations enable flexibility in structured cabling design, including MMC multi-port adapters that fit in the same cutout as an MPO adapter.
Precision Alignment
Precision alignment asymmetric rail design features of the MMC connector and adapter ensure reliable, error-free installation in the field, preventing incorrect orientation of the connector into the adapter.
Simplified Design
The MMC design saves time in testing to meet data center production readiness quickly.
- Pre-alignment of guide pins to guide holes creates less debris and wear for cleaner connectivity
- The MMC connector is designed with a single-sided latch into the adapter, reducing debris generated
- The dust cap for the MMC connector is designed to be non-contact
- The latching location for the connector and dust cap are extended away from the optical plane
MMC Mass Insertion
With the continued increase in optical port count requirements, installation of the optical cabling infrastructure can have a significant impact on meeting data center production ready deliverables.
MMC Mass Insertion solutions enable faster installation time and offers individual connector access in a carrier-based mechanical-advantage design.
Mass-insertion of optical connectors with pre-configured MMC cable assemblies enables fewer individual connector insertions and reduces field port-mapping installation errors in complex mesh architectures, reducing both installation and trouble-shooting time.
