San Francisco, USA – April 1, 2025 (OFC 2025) – At the OFC 2025 exhibition, US Conec and T&S officially signed a global patent licensing agreement for MDC connectors and adapters. Under this agreement, T&S has been granted a non-exclusive license to 11 core patents from US Conec, authorizing the manufacturing and global sales of MDC high-density fiber optic connectors and adapters based on US Conec’s patented technology. These components are essential for the deployment of 800G and 1.6T Ethernet networks.
With AI computing clusters surpassing 100,000 GPU nodes, the demand for higher-density and higher-performance optical connectivity continues to grow, posing challenges for traditional fiber optic connectors. With its innovative design, MDC technology offers a critical solution for high-density, duplex optical interconnects while ensuring signal integrity. This collaboration will accelerate industry standardization, facilitate large-scale deployment of 800G OSFP/QSFP-DD optical modules, and provide high-reliability board-to-board connectivity for Co-Packaged Optics (CPO). Additionally, T&S will offer MDC duplex and MMC multi-fiber cabling and transceivers, further strengthening T&S’s foundation in high density interconnect solutions.
