6113 COUPLING

The 6113 COUPLING from 3M establishes new standards in Fiber Optic Connectors - Adapters for hyperscale data center applications. This high-density interconnect solution enables breakthrough rack-scale architectures with unprecedented signal density and thermal performance.Engineered as a Coupler, this data center component achieves 40% higher port density than conventional designs through innovative miniaturization while maintaining <0.15dB insertion loss in 800G DR8 implementations.The ST Receptacle interface incorporates air-gap reduced technology that lowers optical return loss to <-70dB, critical for coherent transmission systems in cloud provider networks.When converting to ST Receptacle, the adapter's low-profile design enables 1RU panels to support 576 fibers, facilitating spine-leaf architecture deployments in mega-scale data centers.Available in Duplex configurations, the product supports flexible deployment from traditional duplex LC to CS connectors for bidirectional single-fiber 400G deployments.Supporting Multimode operation, the adapter enables seamless migration from 100G SR4 to 400G DR4 infrastructure with backward-compatible MPO-12 interfaces.The Panel Mount, Bulkhead design features tool-less push-pull latching mechanisms that enable rapid serviceability with <5 second per connection replacement times in hyperscale environments.Constructed from Zinc, the housing demonstrates exceptional thermal conductivity (3.5W/mK) for effective heat dissipation in direct-attach copper cable applications.Utilizing Beryllium Copper technology, the ferrules maintain <0.1dB loss variation across 0-70 C operating range in liquid-cooled server rack implementations.Silver coding follows TIA-598-D1 standards for multi-wavelength identification in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems with 100+ channel capacity.
