The SN®-MT Uniboot 2CH Connector is designed for high-density Data Center Inter-Connect applications where operators want to maximize patch panel density, reduce the number of connections on the trunk cable, and reduce the number of furcation tails to manage,​

Sn-MT-Uniboot-Series-Overview

SN Uniboot Series_Unified Mesh

Inter-Connecting Data Centers in clusters

Data center operators using mesh topologies face significant challenges with high-density rollable ribbon cables. Fusion splicing these cables demands skilled technicians and specialized equipment, making the process time-consuming and costly. Operators need a faster, simpler solution for network deployment. The SN-MT16 2CH Connector addresses this challenge by providing an efficient, reliable alternative to fusion splicing, reducing the need for extensive technical expertise and accelerating deployment times.
