TOKYO, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Next generation, hyperscale data center architectures have migrated away from traditional MPO cabling infrastructure to the higher density, enhanced functionality, rapid deployment, and improved performance of the MMC connector platform. In addition, emerging networking and server cluster technologies employing co-packaged and embedded optics are taking advantage of the higher densities of the MMC connector platform both internal to the equipment and as the optical I/O.
Hakusan, SANWA Technologies and US Conec announced agreements to bolster industry supply of MMC Very Small Form Factors (VSFF) multi-fiber optical connector and ferrule components. Hakusan will leverage their decades of expertise in low-loss MT technology to manufacture and supply the TMT ferrule in both x12 and x16 fiber variants.
