Connectors for<br />
400G and More<br />
Increasing bandwidth requirements, space problems, the demand for lower<br />
latency as well as availability requirements are just some of the factors driving the<br />
development of the next generation of transmission technology for data centers<br />
forward. The HD connectors from R&M meet these requirements.<br />

The name of this next generation of transmission<br />
technologies is: «400G and more».<br />
These technologies enable transmission rates<br />
of 400 Gigabits per second (400G), 800G<br />
and higher – up to 1.6 Terabit Ethernet (1.6T)<br />
networks. The small, multi-fiber connectors<br />
enable higher connection density and more<br />
efficient, space-saving cabling.<br />
Connectors for 400G and more<br />
CS (Contiguous Singlemode by Senko)<br />
is suitable for transmission over longer<br />
distances between data centers. Type<br />
QSFP-400G-2FR4 for example, which is<br />
configured for 400 Gigabit Ethernet, is<br />
used as a transceiver.<br />
MDC (Miniature Duplex Connector) is a<br />
two-fiber connector similar to the SN from<br />
USConnec with the same small form factor<br />
for transmission in the data center (single<br />
and multimode).<br />
New plug faces<br />
In order to get the number of fibers into ever<br />
tighter spaces, new plug faces were standardized<br />
and are now ready for integration.<br />
R&M offers the right connectors for these<br />
requirements with future-proof transmission<br />
rates to suit demand. And all in line with<br />
one-stop shopping, as a patch cord, prefabricated<br />
trunk solution or as an all-in-one<br />
solution including cabinet, panel, trunk and<br />
patch cord. Further advantage: R&M issues a<br />
5-year product warranty and 25-year system<br />
warranty.<br />

SN (Small Nano by Senko) is an optical<br />
Duplex connector with a very small<br />
form factor and is suitable for single and<br />
multimode applications in the data center.<br />
There are transceivers for the standards<br />
800G-DR4 (4x200G PAM4), 800G-DR8<br />
(4x200G PAM4) and 800G-SR8 (4x200G<br />
PAM4).<br />

MTO16 (Multifiber Termination Push-On):<br />
The MTO connector also meets the requirements<br />
of high fiber density. It is particularly<br />
suitable for all fiber applications in the<br />
data center. The types QSFP-400G-SR8<br />
and 800G-PSM8 are used as transceivers.<br />
