DIAMOND
Fiber Optic Components
The Diamond Multiple Fiber System (MFS)combines Diamond`s advanced
polishing technology and the flexibility of the MT ferrule resulting in a high
density and performance modular solution, which can be utilized in both back
plane and front panel applications.
The MFS plug are available in 4-,8-, & 12- fiber versions, PC and APC finishes,
and support both multi-mode and single mode applications. The MFS back
plane modules are compact, supporting up to 48 fibers in a 24.8 x 15.8 mm
footprint and are designed for compatibility and integration with standard
metric back plane systems. Each module can accept up to 4 plugs, which can
be added or removed incrementally. The MFS is the only standardized solution
available on the market today and is compliant with both EN 186310 and TIA/
EIA 604-15.
