How does optical connector works?
1. How does optical connector works?
Optical Connector, also called as live joints, is a kind of passive device. This kind of fiber optic
products can be repeatedly used for connecting two fiber or fiber optic cables. It is currently the
most used fiber passive device and has been widely used in applications of fiber optical test
equipments, fiber optical transmission lines and fiber optical distribution frame .
Basic Structure Of Optical Connectors
Optical connector is designed to connect the fibers. They are in wide selection and with
different structures. But the General structure of different fiber optic connectors are the same,
namely, most of the fiber optic connectors widely use high precision components (consists by two
pins and a coupling tube).
The method is that the fiber to penetrate and fixed in the pin, and the pin surface polishing
treatment, in the coupling tube to achieve alignment. The outer components of the pins made of
metal or nonmetal materials. The butt end of pin must be grinded, the other end usually uses bend
2. limiting components to support the fiber or fiber optical cable to release stress. Coupling tube is
made of a cylindrical member fastening in synthesis, made of ceramic or bronze materials, more
equipped with a metal or plastic flange, to easily install the fiber optic connectors. In order to
accurately align the fiber, it is high demand to the processing precision of pins and coupling tube.
Classifications Of Fiber Optic Connectors
According to the different classification methods, fiber optic connectors can be divided into
different types. According to the different transmission medium, fiber connectors including singlemode and multimode fiber optic connectors. According to the different structures, fiber connectors
can be divided into various types like FC, SC, ST, D4 , DIN, Biconic, MU, LC, MT, etc.
According to the pin end surface of the connector, they can be divided into FC, PC (UPC) and
APC. According to the number of fiber cores, fiber connectors can be divided into single-core and
multi-core fiber optic connectors. In common life, we generally follow the different structures of
fiber optic connectors to distinguish.
FiberCasa as the main professional fiber optic products manufacture offers a rich variety of fiber
optic connectors, including FC ,SC&ST Connectors,etc. They are high performance but at low
price. You can rest your concern when buy fiber optic connection products at FiberCasa.com.
