Connectors
The connector type SMC is an optical multifiber connector which is characterized by a
standardized MT ferrule interface (fiber pitch is 250 µm) for up to 12 fibers. It was
developed by Siemens/Infineon and specially designed for the PAROLI
®
module port.
The connector is now part of a whole SMC product family to be applied for a variety of
state-of-the-art and future optical network technologies.
The MT ferrule characteristics meet the requirements of the standards IEC 60874-16
and IEC 61754-5. Work is in progress to define a fiber optical connector intermateability
standard for the SMC (FOCIS-14, Ref. no. SP-4834, to be TIA/EIA-604-14).
Adapter
The SMC adapter is part of the SMC optical connector family. It serves to connect
mechanically two SMC connector plugs with up to 12 fibers applied for a variety of state-
of-the-art and future optical network technologies.
