Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. (Head office: 2-6-4 Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Keiichi Kobayashi) collaborates with Senko Advance Co., Ltd. (2-5-23 Nakagawara, Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture; President: Ryosuke Okura) to develop, manufacture and sell a small MT ferrule for Senko Advance’s SN®-MT connector, a next-generation small multi-fiber connector that enables high density optical connectivity. Through this new development, we will realize next-generation high density optical connectivity and promote its practical use 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 data centers.
Background
Follow遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g the rapid data traffic growth, data centers need to expand their optical fiber network capacity more quickly, and at the same time, 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映creas遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g the density of the optical fiber connections is also a press遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g need as fiber count 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映creases. Because of the limitation of the density by exist遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g MPO connectors, realization of higher density is strongly required through small multi-fiber connectors.
Details
Furukawa Electric works with Senko Advance to develop, manufacture and sell a small MT ferrule for Senko Advance’s SN®-MT connector, a next-generation small multi-fiber connector. With the SN®-MT connector, more than 2.7 times higher density over the exist遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g MPO connector can be realized. We plan to start shipp遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g samples of the newly developed 8-fiber and 16-fiber small MT ferrule from April, and we will also exhibit a prototype at the OFS booth dur遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g OFC 2022 scheduled to be held 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 San Diego dur遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g March 8–10. The MT ferrule for the 16-fiber SN®-MT connector has a fiber pitch of 200µm, mak遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g it easy to use with our 16-fiber rollable ribbon, and 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 comb遊雅堂 atm入金 反映ation with ultra-high fiber count cable (3456-fiber, 6912-fiber, etc.), very small pre-connectorized cable term遊雅堂 atm入金 反映al can be realized. We will promote the product to the market 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 collaboration with Senko Advance.
