Why Develop Optical Fiber Connectors?
The main purpose of the optical fiber connector is for the fiber splice. Now, optical fiber connectors are widely used in optical fiber communication systems in the optical connector, its variety of different structures. Fiber optic connectors in a certain extent, also affects the reliability and the performance of the fiber optic transmission system.
Someone knows that the connector types, but I will tell you here, because I am not sure if you are unknown. Connector structure can be divided into: FC SC, ST, LC, D4, DIN, MU, and the MT and so on in various forms.
The ST Connector is still the most popular multimode connector because it is cheap and easy to install. The SC connector was specified as a standard by the old EIA/TIA 568A specification, but its higher cost and difficulty of installation (until recently) has limited its popularity. However, newer SCs are much better in both cost and installation ease, so it has been growing in use.
The duplex FDDI, ESCON and SC connectors are used for patch cords to equipment and can be mated to ST or SC connectors at wall outlets. Single mode networks use FC or SC connectors in about the same proportion as ST and SC in multimode installations. There are some D4s out there too. EIA/TIA 568 B allows any fiber optic connector as long as it has a FOCIS (Fiber Optic Connector Intermateability Standard) document behind it.
This opened the way to the use of several new connectors, which we call the “Small Form Factor” (SFF) connectors, including AT&T LC, the MT-RJ, the Panduit “Opti-Jack,” 3M’s Volition, the E2000/LX-5 and MU. The LC has been particularly successful in the US.
Connector Termination Styles mainly include 5 types, they are:
- Epoxy/Polish Connectors
- Anaerobic Adhesive/Polish Connectors
- UV Adhesive/Polish Connectors
- Crimp/Polish Connectors
- Quick Termination (Pre-Terminated) Connectors
