![AirMT, Non-contact Multi-fiber Interconnect](/sites/default/files/styles/crop_sei_cp_1920x360/public/2021-06/image_landscape_flexi_large_desktop/Header_AirMT_large_3_0.png?h=5e9a8c9b&itok=90M3KCRT)
AirMT™, Non-contact Multi-fiber Interconnect
Revolutional Style of MT/MPO for Single Mode
The AirMT™ guarantees low insertion loss of <0.5 dB and return 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.
FEATURE
![Low mating force](/sites/default/files/2021-06/products/tileblockicons_large/Low%20force%20icon_1.png)
1 / 2 lower mating force
than conventional MPO connectors
![Equivalent to MT/MPO](/sites/default/files/2021-06/products/tileblockicons_large/Equivalent%20icon_1.png)
IL < 0.5dB, RL > 55dB for SMF
equivalent to conventional MT ferrules
![Mating durability](/sites/default/files/2021-06/products/tileblockicons_large/durability%20icon.png)
> 300 times mating durability
without cleaning
What benefits the air gap in between the connectors provide
- 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.
