From tenants in colocation data centers that pay by space, to data center operators that are reaching capacity in their own facilities, achieving greater density and preparing for future requirements is increasingly key. Even though today you may not need to implement 400G in your data center increasing density in the main distribution area (MDA) is valuable and future demands from new applications or services may consume the bandwidth available to date.
Introducing the MDC (mini duplex connector), one of the very small form factor connectors (VSFFCs), enables connecting directly from one high-speed transceiver to another or maximizing port density per rack unit in the structured cabling and helps to lower the total cost of ownership.
