The MFM series connector is designed for either singlemode or multimode applications and offers significant features for applications in difficult or harsh environments where mechanical protection is required or where circuit connectivity must be controlled by key-way configuration. Applications are wide and varied and a range of products are available to suit different levels of ruggedised cabling.

The MFM connector system is designed for coupling two cables together across a bulkhead or panel and a choice of key-ways allows dedicated connections to be established. A mated pair comprises a Plug and Receptacle connector, with the receptacle being either a flange mount of jam nut style. The advantages of this style of connector include the removable inner assemblies for fibre cleaning, housings and inner assemblies supplied separately and a termination kit is available.

Connector variants are available for mounting on mini cordage (1.8mm diameter), standard 3.0mm cordage and a variety of military tactical style cables, including the 5.4mm diameter dual jacket military tactical cable. Tech Optics can provide MFM and MFM hybrid cable assemblies made to customer specifications.

Connector and Plug orientation must be specified at the time of ordering, either A, B, C, D, E, N or U. The 'U' key, or Universal, accepts any of the other 6 keyway types, and is therefore useful for test leads etc. The table below gives examples of product code using the 'N' key.
