The AirMT™ guarantees low insertion loss of 55 dB, which is comparable to the regular physical contact MPO connectors. These product features are perfect not only for in-equipment fiber management and backplane but also any multi-fiber connections in a harsh environment especially with high level of vibrations.
Trade Mark AirMT is co-owned by Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd and Senko Advanced Components, Inc.
- Easy cleaning
Any dust can be easily blown away when it contaminates the connector because the dust is never smeared across the surface.
- Low mating force
By eliminating physical contact by the air gap, it gives low spring force and therefore gives low mating force regardless of the fiber count.
- No epoxy in the beam
In comparison with other similar technologies, the AirMT has no plastic material or no adhesive crossing the optical beam which affects optical properties.
- Low insertion loss
Precise design and manufacturing of the air gap along with anti-reflection coating give comparable optical properties to conventional MT/MPO connectors.
