Molex

MMC cable assemblies and adapters

The MMC system leverages a very small form factor (VSFF) design to achieve higher density within the same footprint, which helps datacenters to optmize space and density to meet AI-driven demands for increased capacity and performance. Available with 16 or 24 fibers, providing higher cabling port density and low-loss performance in a compact design to support high-bandwidth applications.

Features

  • Offers higher port density than alternative optical connectors
    • The compact form factor delivers up to three times the fiber density per rack unit when compared to MPO/MTP connectors.
  • Simplifies data center architecture by consolidating multiple connections into one connector
    • Aggregating multiple 8F MPO/MTP connections into a single 16F MMC connector streamlines infrastructure and helps optimize both space and network reliability.
  • Simplifies installation and maintenance
    • The push-pull boot and polarized guide rails make installation faster and easier while reducing the chance of assembly errors.
  • Supports higher data rates and increased capacity for data centers
    • With increased fiber counts of 16 or 24 fibers in a single connector, the MMC system simplifies capacity upgrades for high-performance applications like hyperscale data centers.
  • Enhances EMI protection and helps improve signal integrity
    • EMI adapters use shielded designs, grounding mechanisms and high-quality materials to improve performance in applications subject to electronic noise.
