PRIZM® LightTurn® – MTP (MPO) Cables
PRIZM® LightTurn® – MTP (MPO) Cable Assemblies
Rapidly increasing bandwidth requirements in all areas of communication and computing place ever-increasing strain on networking I/O equipment. Edge-mount copper or fiber interfaces are reaching their limits. To meet these demands, embedded parallel optics using the PRIZM® LightTurn® connectors have emerged as the preferred solution.
OptoSpan’s PRIZM® LightTurn® to MTP (MPO) fiber assemblies feature the PRIZM LightTurn connector from US Conec on one end and a 12-, 24-, or 48-fiber MTP connector on the other. These cables are also available as PRIZM LightTurn to PRIZM LightTurn assemblies with a PRIZM LightTurn connector on both ends.
BENEFITS OF PRIZM® LIGHTTURN® ASSEMBLIES:
The PRIZM® LightTurn® connector overcomes the distance and bandwidth limits associated with PCB copper strip lines. It was intended to be a removable miniature connector. When integrated with US Conec's MTP® brand MPO type connector, the PRIZM LightTurn solution significantly increases card edge port density when compared to SFP transceivers, standard array transceivers, or parallel active optical cables (AOC). As a result, this approach is primarily used in parallel optic modules for MPO-based pluggable transceivers, Active Optical Cables, and on-board optical engines for printed circuit board (PCB) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. By aligning the PRIZM fiber assembly and POD, it is possible to significantly increase optical T/R module density on circuit boards, improve fiber routing by connecting directly to the card edge, and optimize airflow and port density in preparation for migration to next-generation high-speed, high-density networks.
All OptoSpan PRIZM® LightTurn® Assemblies are Cable assemblies are made to Telcordia GR-1435-CORE requirements.
