MDC connectors are installed and removed using a push-pull strain relief boot. The boot assists in very dense applications providing easy extraction from adapters and ports. Polarity is easily changed without the need of a tool or exposing fibers, by simply pulling back the strain relief and rotating around the connector body. Jumpers are exclusively micro-size cables, and are available with alternate connectors on the other end, such as LC, for connecting to existing infrastructure.
Using the existing families of Classic, PRM, and LGX compatible panels or modules allows end users to upgrade in fiber density without the added cost of buying a new hardware enclosure or system. Simply swap out the existing panel or module to an MDC and plug in the additional fibers required.
Panels use an MDC adapter to accept a jumper or pre-terminated trunk on each side of the panel, up to 48 fiber per Classic panel.
Modules use a denser MDC adapter to achieve higher fiber counts over panels. A standard Classic MDC module provides 72 fibers, using 12 MDC adapter ports at 6 fibers each, with 6 MTP® ports on the back. Standard modules use pinned (male) MTP connectors and should be mated with non-pinned (female) trunk cables.

Cable jackets are comprised of different materials based on different applications. Plastics used in the structure of plenum cable in the United States are regulated under the National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA 90A: Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems. All materials planned for use on wire and cables to be placed in plenum spaces are intended to meet rigorous fire safety test standards by NFPA 262 and outlined in NFPA 90A.
OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser)
Used in riser applications or spaces inside a building in pathways that pass between floors, such as a vertical zone or space. They are engineered to prevent a fire from spreading from floor to floor within buildings. OFNR cable is resistant to oxidation and degradation. It gives off heavy black smoke, hydrochloric acid, and other toxic gases when it burns. It is fine to use as a patch cord or for single in-wall runs. If you want to use it in a building, the building must feature a contained ventilation system and have good fire exits.
OFNP (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Plenum)
Used in plenum applications or inside buildings in plenum areas, the areas between a ceiling and the floor above it, where space is reserved for the circulation of air. They have the highest rated fire retardant which emits little smoke during combustion. The non-conductive element within OFNP means they contain no electrically conductive components. OFNP cable has fire resistance and gives low smoke when it burns. It can be used as a substitute for PVC (OFNR) cable since its fire resistance is the highest. It’s designed for the movement of environmental air and is commonly used for vertical runs between floors.
DMSI utilizes UL-listed cables in all our products. UL-listed cables are fully traceable and guarantee high quality and safe product. To combat counterfeit offshore cables, we recommend asking your suppliers for a certificate of compliance, or proof of where your product is coming from.

Fiber optic cables represent the technology of the future, and it’s a revolution that you do not want to miss out on.
Fiber optic cables have specific functions, but the main feature is that they bring incredible efficiency. At their core, fiber optic cables perform at a higher level than wired cables, and it’s mostly because of their design and capability. They’re made for long-distance transmissions, while also allowing for greater amounts of data to be transmitted over these distances. Fiber optic cables represent the technology of the future, and it’s a revolution that you do not want to miss out on.
How Does It Work?
Fiber optic cables are innovative because of the way they’re made and how they work. They transmit data using small pulses of light. The cables themselves, however, are made up of tiny pieces of glass. The lighting itself is reflected off of the glass material, allowing it to pass and contort through the cable. This process is much more reliable than copper, and it’s also more effective.
What’s The Benefit?
The primary benefit of fiber optics is that they can hold more information at a single time, and then communicate that information. This is because of the bandwidth that comes with a fiber cable. You also won’t need to invest in signal boosters when using fiber materials. The light can travel a long distance, all while maintaining the strength of the signal. It’s not susceptible to any outside interference. You have a reliable product that quickly transmits your information, and it also has an inherently strong system of defense. Finally, fiber optic cables take away the worry that you’ll have a consistently spotty connection. A traditional network can suffer because of its unique shielding, while a fiber optic network with glass has no issues.

In any data center, the key for each manager is to maintain efficiency and set your network up for optimal connectivity. However, things do not always go to plan every single day, and you have to factor that into your business. There are plenty of factors that contribute to link loss, such as the length and type of cable, or the number of connectors. Low-loss MPO or MTP connectors will give you greater adaptability and flexibility. The biggest thing to remember with any type of fiber optics product is that your daily tasks will be made simple. Processes that used to take up time will now be done in a much more efficient manner. With low-loss connectivity, your functionality will increase, such as expanding the distance of your network due to the number of connections possible.
With low-loss connectivity, your functionality will increase, such as expanding the distance of your network due to the number of connections possible.
How Will It Help?
As with anything in this sector, or any sector really, the key is to minimize risk. By using low-loss fiber connectivity, you’re effectively shrinking the risk that would’ve been there. In today’s data centers, optical insertion budgets are shrinking. It’s also important to recognize that much of the architecture for layouts has become flattened. Considering LANs now have higher port densities, flatter networks have become more prevalent. So, this isn’t necessarily something you have to do, but it would bring you incredible value.
What Are The Benefits?
The benefit of having low-loss fiber connectivity is that it gives you a greater amount of connection points. Specifically, more connection points in 10, 40, and 100 gigabit Ethernet channels. Another main benefit of using this type of technology is how much easier it makes for simple processes. With the low loss, fiber makes it much easier (and faster) to change your server connections between ports.
