In the fast-moving industries of today, the demand for small form factor, high-density fiber optic connectivity is only increasing, and engineers are constantly on the lookout for enhanced, higher performance solutions.
Committed to providing the superior connections engineers need, Molex has developed an extensive portfolio of top-grade fiber optic connectivity solutions, including LC connectors, adapters, and cable assemblies. In addition, Oplink Communications, a Molex Company, delivers industry-leading networking components, subsystems, and transceivers to round out Molex product offerings and comprehensively meet fiber optic industry need. Let’s take a look at how these connectors, adapters, cable reels, and Oplink solutions help engineers address the constantly evolving demand for enhanced fiber optic connectivity.
Molex LC connectors have immense benefit for engineers, as they deliver one of the industry’s biggest performances in one of the smallest packages. Because they are designed and built using proven technologies in the LC connector system, they deliver an industry-best high-performance fiber optic interface. As an added bonus, their small form factor allows engineers to reduce space requirements by 50% when compared to 2.50mm ferrule connectors.

These connectors also leverage a dependable performance, which is a crucial factor for fiber optic connectivity. The six-position tuning feature optimizes fiber core alignment, allowing these connectors to leverage impressive insertion loss performance. Engineers can count on connector endurance and interminability since the connectors are compliant to TIA/EIA-604-10A (FOCIS-10) and have been tested to Telcordia GR-326.
They are also able to accommodate 900μm buffered fiber, 1.60mm, 2.00mm, or 3.00mm jacketed cable, and they are available in industry standard beige (multimode), blue (singlemode), and green (angle polish) colors to simplify and speed up assembly.
Molex adapters are equally dynamic in performance and integrate new features for a more powerful performance. First, they offer engineers incredible design and installation flexibility with a new eight-port adapter design for multiple connector configurations. Now, it is possible to have eight simplex connectors, four duplex connectors, or a combination of the two.

They are available in plastic or metal housings, and all except eight-port metal adapters feature both screw- and snap-mount styles, so you can get the adapter best suited to your application. Additionally, Molex adapters offer enhanced laser eye-safety protection in the form of optional safety shutters. For increased protection, plastic adapters can feature optional internal and external shutters, while metal adapters have the option of external shutters.
Molex Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) cable reels are ideal for many industrial applications, including wind turbines, transportation, inverters, medical, sensing, and lighting applications, among others. These high-performance simplex and duplex step-index POF cable reels are very cost-effective and have several advantages over copper solutions.
First, they eliminate EMC & EMI issues in industrial applications. Unlike copper alternatives, they are immune to EM interferences and do not radiate EM noise, thereby avoiding crosstalk between lines. Molex cable reels are also more convenient, as they are lighter in weight and simplify handling and installation. These flexible solutions are able to meet almost every solution requirement; they come in simplex and duplex zipcord cable versions to suit the specific semiconductor solution used, and with multiple cable-jacket materials and temperature ranges available. Molex POF cable reels are able to meet a number of specific application requirements in commercial, industrial, and rugged harsh environments.
Rounding out the comprehensive offerings are the feature-rich fiber optic solutions from Oplink, a Molex company with extensive experience in the optical industry. Leveraging optical and mechanical design knowledge, Oplink provides industry leading solutions featuring 10G SFP+, 10G XFP, SFP, Video SFP, and SFP BiDi transceivers. They also have a wide product range of passive optical components including splitter/couplers, switch/circulators, tap monitors, WDM filters, WDM mux/demux, and more.
These solutions provide a reliable fiber optic performance for Wireless, Datacenter, Datacom, Telecom, and other applications.
Quick to respond to new industry movements and demands, Molex has become a leader in fiber optic connectivity. They have developed one of the industry’s most extensive connectivity solution portfolios, and Molex and Oplink fiber optic connective solutions meet or exceed the needs of various applications. If you need high performing fiber optic connectors, adapters, cable reels, or something else entirely in the fiber optic sphere, Molex is sure to have the solution ideally suited to your end application.
