Molex Showcases Next-Generation PRIZM LightTurn Cable Assemblies at OFC/NFOEC Booth #2021

Molex provides the multi-fiber cable assembly termination expertise and assembly capabilities for this next-generation solution. "By combining Molex's PRIZM LightTurn cable assemblies with Molex's high-density front panel and blindmate backplane interconnects we are able to offer our customers the most diverse end-to-end solutions," said Tom Schiltz, product manager, Multi Fiber Products, Molex Incorporated. "The unique perpendicular mating of the PRIZM LightTurn connector to Avago's MicroPOD module is an improvement over current parallel optical modules used in the telecom, datacom and emerging high speed computercom markets."

The perpendicular mating allows for the tight spacing of modules and improved cable management because the parallel optical modules can be aligned in rows. The multi-fiber ribbon cable assemblies are mated on top of the modules, providing improved airflow on the PCB. By using 12-, 24-, 48-, and 72-fiber MT ferrules, PRIZM LightTurn 12 fiber ribbon fiber cables can be mated to Molex's high density interconnects including HBMT , Array Connector and Circular MT connectors.

The connectors will be displayed at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition (OFC) and the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (NFOEC), booth #2021, March 23- 25.

PRIZM LightTurn cable assemblies manufactured by Molex have been validated by US Conec to meet the functional requirements of the Avago module. For more information, please visit www.molex.com/product/prizmlightturncables.html.
