Application of Fiber Optics Connector

Normal Usage of Fiber Optics Connector

In the fiber optic system design, if the system is capable of normal operation, we achieved very good results. We need not only to consider some unexpected problems appear in the system design, but also expect the system to achieve the effect of normal operation. During the process of system design, we have to take into account the worst case may appear and make appropriate plans, looking forward to better operational results. fiber optics connector designers certainly have to keep this in mind. In system design, security, stability and system connection requirement the end of the fiber is smooth, tidy. The connection between the clients must be precise, micron accuracy or millionths of a meter. The diameter of commonly used multimode fiber is from 50-62.5 microns, while the diameter of the single-mode fiber is only 8-9 microns. This size of diameter can be compared with a human hair (17-180 microns) in diameter, and we can make sure that any trace of error can bring catastrophic losses.

Development of Fiber Optic Connector

With the expansion of technology development and application, fiber optic patch cables are also achieving rapid development. The kinds of Fiber optic connector used in market are probably 12 or more, each of which came into being to meet the specific needs, of course, there are also some technical limitations. The trend in market is developing toward a moderate price, compact connector mode and all of these can support the requirements of the new transmission distribution system. As users expect that the continuous development of the telecommunications industry also contributes to the large scale application of the optical fiber, in large part due to rapid growth in the demand on the types of communications and entertainment services on the fiber-optic connection.

Requirements on Fiber Optical Connector

The fiber optic connection is very stringent to the precision of equipments, therefore the connector must be very clean. Fiber optic connectors and accessories are usually mounted on a set of house, a finger print or external dust may seriously affect the performance of the connector, and even lead to transmission failure. Therefore, the connector should be stored in clean protective sleeve without connecting. In the connection, we should also tighten fiber optic connector. So far, wedge "ferrule" is used all optical fiber connector design to ensure accurate when select the connector. The optical fiber terminal in the ferrule becomes a permanent element by adhesive or crimping tight hoop. Ferrules are usually made from a relatively hard material such as ceramic, of course, can also be stainless steel, plastic, or made of a tungsten carbide material.
