• Ultra-high performance terabit per second bandwidth capability; e.g. 64 fibers, each carrying one wavelength at 25 GBit/s = 1.6 Tbit/s per connector
• Smaller size providing even greater density than MTP®
• Rugged interface using expanded beam technology
• Lower cost due to fewer parts and no fiber polishing required for assembly
MaIn advanTaGeS OF MXC™ (compared to conventional fiber optic connectors)
eXPanded BeaM TeCHnOLOGy
MXC™ is a brand new optical fiber connector system responding to the ever-increasing demand for data which is driving new hardware and applications in data centers and networks. Using advanced high-density interconnect technology, MXC™ is a real breakthrough technology to provide a direct card edge interface to embedded optical engines from Intel Silicon Photonics and others.
Up To 64 Micro Lenses a key feature of the MXC™ connector system is the hermaphroditic PRIZM MT™ ferrule (also known as “lensed MT ferrule” or “expanded beam MT ferrule”) that enables the ultra-high connection density. The outer dimension of the MXC™ ferrule remains the same as the classical MT ferrule of MTP®/MPO connectors. The PRIZM MT™ technology enables a brand new design of the ferrule tip with a recessed area of up to 64 micro lenses, 4 rows with up to 16 lenses per row.
• MXC™ multimode OM3, OM4 and LX cable assemblies are available. Singlemode MXC™ is under development. • MXC™ bulkhead and blindmate connectors for mid- and back-plane card edge applications are under development.• Future higher data rates >1.6 Tbit/s are expected.

• expanded beam technology results in decreased impact of debris
• Consistently low insertion loss and return loss due to greater alignment tolerances at the mating plane of the connectors
• Less spring force required for mating
