 The MXC connector is a new design specifically created for next-generation optics in the data center. Designed with advanced composite, precision-molded plastics instead of metal and ceramics, the materials and manufacturing techniques enable lower-cost manufacturing.  This new connector can up to 64 fibers.  At a speed of 25GHz it can carry 1.6 Tbps of data. 4

HISTORY

 In September of 2013 Intel and Corning announced a new Optical Connector technology called MXC.  Corning and Intel have worked together to develop MXC*, the connector for the 21st century data center. 5

INTRODUCTION TO OPTICAL FIBER COMMUNICATION  Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to 1another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information.  First developed in the 1970s, fiber-optics have revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have played a major role in the advent of the Information Age. Because of its advantages over electrical transmission, optical fibers have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world.  Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals. Researchers at Bell Labs have reached internet speeds of over 100 petabit × kilometer per

The TheFiber Fiber

1. Transmits 1310 nm with low optical loss to enable distances of up to 300 meters at 25 Gbps, three times longer than current technologies. 2. 1310 nm is the wavelength (color) of light that is optimized to Intel® Silicon Photonics Technologies. 3. The fiber also will be available for sale to other cabling manufacturers. 4. As a bend-insensitive fiber, ClearCurve LX fiber has almost 1/10 the bend radius of traditional fibers.

CONTINUE…

1. The MXC connector will up to 64 fibers, each operating at 25 Gbps. 2. The total aggregate bandwidth of the 64-fiber version is 1.6 terabits of data per second. 3. The MXC connector uses a lensed ferrule to carry light from one connector to the other, rather than physical fiber of the end faces as with traditional connector technology. 4. The fiber lenses have a beam expander that increases the diameter of the light beam by four times. 5. The MXC connector has fewer parts and the connector’s assembly requires fewer processing steps, all of which reduces the connector’s total manufacturing cost. 10

CONTINUE… Compared to existing optical connector solutions, the unique plug and receptacle design provides increased density with fewer components, making it cost effective and ideal for new equipment card edge requirements driven by implementation of embedded, midboard optics modules. PCB space consumption on the inside of the equipment is minimized by combining the traditional adapter and on-card plug into one simple, condensed, single piece housing.
