Optical Solutions

As a leading supplier of advanced fiber optic components, Molex has an extensive product offering that includes a full range of fiber optic connectors and adapters. Molex's experience and resources provide customers a wide range of design, manufacturing and value-added services.

Molex gives customers a specialized portfolio of protective, precision-tested fiberoptic cable assemblies in a variety of lengths. Each offering helps optimize performance and simplify installation—allowing system architects to achieve more efficient fiber routing and repeatability across high-density applications.

FlexPlane Optical Flex Circuits provide versatile, high-density routing on a flexible substrate, and Routed Ribbon Solutions offer cable management and mitigate airflow challenges for low-profile Network interface cards (NICs), switch fabric modules, complex shuffling and backplane applications.

As hyperscalers and neo cloud providers look to improve data center efficiency for AI training and inferencing at scale, the High-Radix Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) Platform from Molex supports up to 544x544 ports with a roadmap to support 1,000+ ports, enabling flatter architectures with fewer switches. The platform features a low insertion loss design for longer reach and fewer amplifiers and regenerators, simplifying optical-power budgeting and enabling incredibly fast, energy-efficient and future-proof designs.

The TeraLIGHT system combines expanded collimated-beam coupling, passive self-alignment, wafer-level fabricated optical elements and a detachable photonic-plug architecture to improve manufacturability, optical performance, shoreline density and field serviceability.

The TeraVERSE system is a detachable, field-serviceable fiber-to-chip connectivity platform that combines passive self-aligning optics, wafer-level testability and semiconductor manufacturing compatibility to reduce assembly complexity, improve production yield and enable higher-bandwidth silicon photonics deployments.

These high-performance, low-maintenance, reliable and scalable fiber connectivity solutions support next-generation data center architectures. Innovated expanded beam connector options integrate 12, 16 or 144 fibers into a single connector, simplifying cable routing and offering high fiber density.
