FS has officially introduced its new MMC cables and MMC fiber panels, a significant step toward meeting the rapidly increasing demand for ultra-high-density, low-loss connectivity in AI-driven and hyperscale data centers. As organizations continue to scale AI training clusters, deploy GPU-intensive servers, and adopt next-generation switching technologies, the pressure on data center infrastructure intensifies. Consequently, facilities face growing challenges related to fiber density, heat dissipation, and the ability to manage and access cabling efficiently.
To address these issues, FS developed its MMC cables and fiber panels using an advanced VSFF multi-fiber connector format. This new design delivers three times the density of MPO solutions, while still offering excellent optical performance. As a result, these products position themselves as a future-ready option for next-generation, high-bandwidth architectures.

Moreover, FS highlights several advantages of its new MMC lineup:
1. Maximized Density for Better Space Utilization
The MMC series provides up to three times the port density of traditional MTP/MPO connections. This improvement not only optimizes valuable data center space but also enhances power usage effectiveness (PUE). By allowing more connections within the same footprint, operators can reduce both operational costs and cost per port, which becomes increasingly important as AI workloads scale.
2. Low-Loss Connectivity for Stable, High-Quality Transmission
Built with the TMT Elite ferrule and an optimized structural design featuring a smaller form factor, reduced epoxy cavity, and symmetric configuration the MMC cable achieves an impressive 0.35 dB insertion loss with APC polish. Additionally, all cables comply with Telcordia GR-1435 standards, ensuring long-term reliability and strong signal integrity across demanding environments.
3. Plug-and-Play Simplicity for Efficient Operations
To streamline deployment and maintenance, FS equips each MMC cable with Top & Bottom Rails that ensure polarity accuracy. Furthermore, the DirectConec push-pull boot makes handling fast and safe, even within high-density and crowded patching areas.

FS has also expanded the product family with a wide range of MMC cable models tailored for diverse applications from structured data-center cabling to high-bandwidth device-level interconnections. The lineup includes MMC Jumpers, Breakouts, Trunks, and Harnesses, each offering various connector options such as MMC-16, MMC-24, and MTP variants. These solutions enable seamless transitions from existing MTP-based systems and support smooth migration to MMC architectures.
In addition to the cable series, FS launched a 1U MMC fiber panel designed to simplify MMC cable management. It fits standard EIA 19” racks and supports MMC-12, MMC-16, and MMC-24 cables. With 66 four-port MMC adapters in a single 1U panel, it can accommodate up to 6336 fibers using MMC-24 cables significantly boosting density while maintaining accessibility.
Overall, FS’s new MMC cable and panel portfolio marks a major upgrade for data centers preparing for large-scale AI computing and future optical network demands.
