Molex Molex MT Cable Assemblies

Molex's rugged, high-density Circular and Array MT cable assemblies are designed to meet requirements mandated by telecommunication, military, medical and many other industries. These cable assemblies are designed to meet or exceed the mechanical specifications of traditional data communication and telecommunication inter-chassis connections.

The circular MT assemblies use a single MT ferrule housed in a nickel-plated, metal-connector shell. Fiber counts range from 12 to 72 fibers. The metal housing and stainless steel push-pull locking ring provide a more robust design. The MT ferrule is recessed in both the circular connector and receptacle housings, providing an additional improvement over traditional MT connectors. The circular MT products ensure improved alignment benefits, increased pull-strength and the use of new round, ribbon-cable constructions.
