Introduction to the characteristics of fiber optic connectors

2021-07-06
Fiber optic connectors is a very common tool, but many people don't know the characteristics of fiber optic connectors.

(1) Insertion and removal times: Under normal circumstances, the current fiber optic connectors can be inserted and removed more than 1000 times.

(2) Tensile strength: For the connected fiber optic connectors, the tensile strength is generally required to be no less than 90N.

(3) Temperature: Generally, the optical connector of the optical fiber must be used in the temperature range of -40℃ to +70℃.

(4) Interchangeability and reproducibility: The fiber optic connectors is a universal passive device, the same type of fiber optic connectors can be used in any connection, and can be used repeatedly, so under normal circumstances, the additional entry loss is generally less than 0.2dB In the range.

(5) Optical properties: The optical performance requirements of fiber optic connectors are mainly two basic parameters, insertion loss and return loss. Insertion loss is the connection loss of the effective light intensity loss of the connection, which is due to the insertion of the connector. The insertion loss is as small as possible. Generally, it should not be about 0.5dB.
