The OPTOKON MCS series is a compact and reliable set of connectors designed for quick repair and splicing of tactical optical cables in field conditions.
The MCS-02 and MCS-04 models provide simple and fast mechanical splicing of 2 or 4 fibers without the need for power, heating, or complex tools.
These devices are ideal for military, telecommunications, and broadcast systems where quick communication recovery is required under extreme conditions. Thanks to a sealed housing and IP67 protection, the connection remains stable even in humid or dusty environments.

Comparison of MCS-02 and MCS-04 Models
Characteristic | MCS-02 | MCS-04 |
Maximum number of fibers | 2 | 4 |
Size and weight | Compact | Slightly larger |
Application area | Two-fiber communication lines | Multi-fiber tactical networks |
Installation speed | Very fast | Similar, slightly longer due to more fibers |
Cost | Low | Slightly higher due to expanded capabilities |
Conclusion:
Both models provide equally reliable connections.
Choose MCS-02 if you work with two fibers, or MCS-04 if you need to splice up to four fibers in one housing.
