SAN FRANCISCO - ncarol.com -- (OFC 2025) – During the OFC 2025 conference, T&S Communication and US Conec formally entered into a global patent licensing agreement covering MDC connectors and adapters.

Through this agreement, T&S obtains non-exclusive rights to 11 key US Conec patents, enabling the company to manufacture and distribute MDC high-density optical connectors and adapters worldwide. These interconnect solutions are vital for next-generation Ethernet applications including 800G and 1.6T.

As AI computing environments expand to include clusters exceeding 100,000 GPUs, the need for compact, high-throughput optical links has grown significantly—highlighting the limitations of conventional fiber connectors. The MDC platform, with its compact duplex form factor and robust signal integrity, offers a future-ready alternative for dense optical deployments. This licensing partnership is set to speed up ecosystem alignment and support broader adoption of 800G OSFP and QSFP-DD modules, while also enabling dependable board-level connectivity for emerging Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) systems.
