HONG KONG, October 27, 2011 - Optec Technology Limited, a leader in fiber optic interconnect and assembly products, today announces the availability of Mini-LC duplex cable assemblies. This new smaller form factor LC connector is designed to save space and increase the amount of fiber optic interconnections, enabling a higher density data center computing environments.

Data center space is increasingly prized and precious nowadays. Virtualization and consolidations of data centers are trends happening on a global scale. To save space and reduce energy, data center hardware designers are becoming more innovative and versatile to adapt. One innovation is the reduction of SFP ports in data center hardware to increase density using the same amount of rack space. The mini-SFP (mSFP) has been introduced by major equipment vendors, which utilize a smaller form factor optical transceiver that employs a smaller form factor LC connector, the Mini-LC.

The Mini-LC connector features a smaller physical footprint without any compromise to the optical performance of the standard LC connector. The center ferrule ptich of the duplex LC connector has been reduced from 6.25mm to 5.25mm. This 1mm reduction in space per connector increase the amount of fiber optic connections per rack, allowing better heat dissipation and improving energy efficiency.
