Molex offers its QMD solution to customers through a licensing agreement with Radiall SA for OSIS (One Step Interconnect Solution), the next generation of FTTA (Fiber to the Antenna) interconnection technology. This agreement ensures full interoperability of the products offered by both manufacturers. The agreement expands Molex's range of robust connectors by incorporating a connector with superior performance compared to previously deployed products. The Molex QMD solution will be supplied as part of a factory-assembled and tested cable set or as a connector kit applicable to customer-installed or existing cabling on-site.
The QMD eliminates the need for multiple steps to attach the internal LC duplex connector, simplifying installation and maintenance in every way. Furthermore, thanks to its excellent features, the connector is ideal for outdoor installation:
The shielded contact design reduces potential damage to the optical connector from impacts with hard surfaces.
The spring-driven displacement of the internal LC connector on the Z-axis ensures proper coupling to the SFP optical transceiver with a wide mounting tolerance.
The lightweight, high-impact thermoplastic housing withstands extreme temperatures up to 80°C.
The flexible design utilizes both multimode and single-mode fiber.
