MMC/MMC Patch Cable Assemblies
MMC to MMC, 16 Strand, Corning G657A1 Singlemode 9/125 Micron, OFNP Yellow Jacket
The revolutionary MMC connector ushers in a new era of high density, low insertion loss connectivity by combining a new, reduced size, MT-style ferrule (TMT) with a novel very small form factor (VSFF) connector embodiment. Employing DirectConec™ push-pull technology, the MMC connector enables the highest functional fiber density available in the market. Simplified gender and polarity management greatly reduces the complexity associated with MPO cabling infrastructure. MMC connectivity enables solutions that minimize the space required across multiple applications, including structured cabling, high fiber count data center interconnects, transceivers and on-board optics.
LightWave brand MTP Cables are fully compliant with the guidelines of the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), and are approved for United States Government use.
