6278348-6

The 6278348-6 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 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 SC 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 SC 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 Simplex configurations, the product supports flexible deployment from traditional duplex LC to CS connectors for bidirectional single-fiber 400G deployments.Supporting Singlemode/Multimode operation, the adapter enables seamless migration from 100G SR4 to 400G DR4 infrastructure with backward-compatible MPO-12 interfaces.The Panel Mount, Flange (2 Hole) 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 Die Cast, the housing demonstrates exceptional thermal conductivity (3.5W/mK) for effective heat dissipation in direct-attach copper cable applications.Utilizing Metal technology, the ferrules maintain <0.1dB loss variation across 0-70 C operating range in liquid-cooled server rack implementations.With Dust Cap, the product incorporates integrated ESD protection (8kV contact discharge) and latching force indicators for reliable operation in automated robotic patch panel systems.Silver coding follows TIA-598-D1 standards for multi-wavelength identification in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems with 100+ channel capacity.
