Did you know? MMC connector assembly is very similar to MPO assembly, but the tooling is different.
The TMT ferrule’s different dimensions mean MMC assemblies require TMT-specific fixturing and tooling.

What is refractive index (RI) and why does it matter?
Refractive index measures how light travels through a material. A higher RI means light moves more slowly, causing a greater change in direction as it passes through the material.
