DIAMOND
Fiber Optic Components
The
MU
inherits incorporates the positive mechanical and optical
performance features of the SC style connector in a high density small
form factor (SFF) design. The miniature unit-coupling
MU
is currently
recognized by both the IEC and the IEEE International standards or-
ganizations.
This fiber optic connector system features a compact connector hous-
ing and a 1.25 mm diameter ferrule.
The
MU
is available as a Simplex or Duplex connector for both Single
Mode (PC or APC) and Multimode applications.
Diamond, leveraging its experience in SFF connector design and
manufacturing, has incorporated its unique ferrule design and pro-
prietary active alignment process which has made their own E-2000
™
& F-3000
™
connectors recognized performance leaders. The end re-
sult is a MU connector with superior optical performance.
