In a previous blog, we discussed how multi-fiber push-on (MPO) connectors support 400 and 800 Gigabit applications and beyond. A mainstay in the data center, these connectors use a linear array of fibers in a single ferrule for improved density and to support parallel optic applications that transmit and receive o

In our last blog on using duplex and MPO connectivity together , we talked about breakout applications and the advantages of supporting multiple lower-speed connections from a single port to maximize port utilization and switch density. Breakout applications are where new small form factor duplex connectors like S

While LC duplex connectors have dominated as the interface for duplex fiber applications, there are some new smaller form-factor duplex connector designs out in the market—and they are giving the LC a run for its money in next-gen high-speed data center applications! Perhaps you've heard of Senko's CS™
