Molex’s FlexPlane optical flex circuit provides one of the highest density and versatile interconnect systems on the market today. For high fiber count
interconnects in backplanes and cross-connect systems, the FlexPlane’s high density routing on a flexible, flame-retardant substrate provides a manageable
means of fiber routing from card-to-card or shelf to shelf. A variety of interconnects including blind mating MT and MTP based connectors can be used to
connect the optical flex circuits to individual cards in a shelf.
Available in any routing scheme, fiber can be routed point-to-point, in a shuffle, or in a logical pattern. Direct or fusion-spliced terminations are available.
Non-fusion splice lead lengths are available up to two meters. Molex provides a variety of FlexPlane interconnect options including: MT, MTP, MPO, MT-RJ,
SMC, LC, FC, ST, SC, MU, up to 12 fiber Backplane MTP (BMTP) and up to 96 fiber High Density Backplane MT (HBMT).
Packaging alternatives include standard bare flexible substrate sandwiched in FR-4 or custom laminating. Each FlexPlane circuit can be fully tested down to
the per port insertion loss and return loss.
