FOLINK MDC Patch cord use US Conec's ELiMENT™ MDC connector is a Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) duplex optical connector designed  for termination of Multi-mode and Single-mode fiber cables up to 2.0mm in diameter.

Multiple emerging transceiver Multi-Source Agreements (MSAs) have defined port breakout architectures that require a duplex optical connector with a smaller footprint than the LC connector. The reduced size of the MDC connector will allow a single array transceiver to accept multiple MDC patch cables which are individually accessible.

Directly at the transceiver interface. The new format will support four individual MDC cables in a QSFP footprint and two individual MDC cables in an SFP footprint. The increased connector density at the module/panel minimizes hardware size which leads to reduced capital and operational expense. A one Rack Unit (RU) housing can accommodate 144 fibers with LC Duplex connectors and adapters. Using the smaller MDC connector increases the fiber count to 432F in the same 1 RU space.
