LumaCon is a technology partner to Molex Inc., one of the worlds leading suppliers of optical
connectors and structured optical cable systems. LumaCon's core technology is its LumaCore
optical terminus system. LumaCore deploys small form factor 1.25mm zironia ceramic
ferrule into tight array configurations. With this, all of the performance
and maintainance advantages of single fiber connectors can now be packaged with nearly the density of MT optical
ribbon connector solutions. LumaCore technology truly enables todays optical systems designers
to put industry leading optical performance into a rich array of connector solutions for tomorrows
optical networks.
LumaCore based connector systems are available in a broad range of standard
product configuration as well as easily derived custom solutions. LumaCon and Molex are
working to deliver the worlds finest optical connector and cables systems from the front
of customer's equipment chassis to the rear. With optical solutions from mid-planes, to
backplanes and into most industry standard connectors such as ARINC, Mil-DTL-38999, Micro
D and many industrial standards, LumaCon thru Molex offers the broadest range of high
performance interconnect solutions available.
LumaCore is the first and remains today the only ultra-compact and dense optical optical terminus system that can
deliver superior performance in severe environments with single mode or multi-mode fiber while
integrating innovative hex registry tuning. In all LumaCore solutions, the
unique quarter turn lock system integrated into the terminus allows LumaCon's and Molex's
customers package optical array configurations deliverying up to 55 termini per square inch.
Headquartered in Tustin, California, LumaCon was founded in May 2002 by a team of optical
interconnect professionals. With over 75 years of interconnect marketing, design
and manufacturing experience our engineers and designers understand the historical strengths and
weaknesses of all the current products on the market. They have mined the
technology from these products to deliver a unique set of innovative products
intended to enable customer to deploy very cost effective multi-channel optical
interconnect solutions into next generation optical systems.
In September of 2005 LumaCon entered into a technology partnership with Molex.
Molex provides its world leading optical systems marketing, design and manufacturing capabilities
to deploy LumaCore based solutions on a global basis. Molex is the world's leading
supplier of advanced multi-channel optical systems and LumaCon's LumaCore based products
fit neatly between their vast array of MT ribbon fiber based interconnect solutions and their single
channel SC/ST/LC/MU style solutions. Molex brings its global engineering and manufacturing support
to all customers using LumaCore technology. They ensure a strong support network for all LumaCore based
products far into the future and deliver a worldclass capability of designing and delivering complete solutions
to the most complex challenges.
