Utilizing environmentally-protected MT ferrule technology, the MHC III can deliver up to 24 fibers in a 30% smaller footprint than traditional cylindrical connectors. Coupled with OCC’s proven hermaphroditic platform, MHC III can effectively reduce installation times and ensure superior optical performance. With its variety of options and ruggedized features, OCC’s MHC III delivers high-speed communications critical for today’s ever- increasing bandwidth requirements. Features & Benefits When considering a reliable solution for high-channel count communications, OCC’s MHC III can provide: • Compact, high-density MT technology for more connections in a smaller space. The MHC III takes advantage of MT ferrule technology and delivers higher channel counts in a smaller footprint. Its unique connector design effectively decreases the amount of space needed to connect 12 and 24 channels. • Installations that are simplified – reducing time, effort and costs. By utilizing proven MT technology, termination of up to 24 fibers with one connection drastically reduces installation times and the costs associated with those terminations. OCC’s hermaphroditic design easily allows MHC III connectors to be mated regardless of connector gender and offers point-to-point connections seamlessly. In addition, features such as an integrated pulling eye that assists with difficult cable pulls make the MHC III an ideal choice to ensure easy installations. • Ruggedized construction that provides reliable optical performance and trusted environmental and mechanical capabilities. The MHC III’s all-metal construction ensures that connections can withstand wide temperature ranges and provide extreme impact resistance. An IP-68 rating reinforces the robust nature of the MHC III and keeps data transmissions well protected against dirt, dust and water. Additionally, when paired with OCC’s MT optimized cables, the MHC III provides a reliable solution for any harsh environment application. • A variety of options to meet any application. The multitude of choices available with the MHC III provides greater flexibility when configuring communication systems. Available in multi-mode, single-mode and APC single-mode, the MHC III can be provisioned in various hermaphroditic plug and receptacle options. For applications that will encounter high vibration or for more fixed and permanent installations, the MHC III plug configured with the locking coupling nut is ideal. However, if your application requires quick and easy connects and disconnects, the MHC III plug can be provisioned with the spring actuated coupling nut. Standard MHC III plugs and receptacles are a black anodized aluminum, however, they are also available in alternative plating and base materials to match the application, including Nickel-Teflon, Marine Brass and Stainless Steel.

3. do you require a plug-to-plug assembly or a plug-to-discrete connector assembly? OCC has the capabilities to provision both types of assemblies. If you are requiring an MHC III plug-to-plug assembly, simply contact us with the channel counts and the type of environment the assembly will be used. If you require a plug-to-connector assembly, we will need to know what type of discrete connector you want to use and the type of cable you prefer. If you have questions about how to order these types of assemblies, give us a call and we can walk you through the process to find the best solution for your need.
4. What type of cable do you prefer and what length? Various cable types are available to meet any application and OCC can provision any assembly to the specific length that meets your need. Additionally, OCC offers a wide variety of fiber types including 9/125µm, 62.5/125µm, OM3, OM4 and more. Contact OCC Sales for help determining the best cable for your application.
5. do i need special plating? All MHC III configurations are supplied with black anondized as standard plating. Additional plating and material options are available. For applications that require the plug and/or receptacle to be corrosive resistant, material options such as Brass or Stainless Steel are available.
6. do you need easy field deployment? OCC has a variety of options to help with deploying your MHC III cable assemblies. Contact OCC Sales to learn about our MARS reels, Integrated Cleaning Kits for MHC III and all the deployable accessories for the MARS Reel.
