Introduction to the principle of fiber optic connector

Fiber optic connector is a device for detachable (active) connection between optical fibers and optical fibers. It precisely butts the two end faces of the optical fibers, so that the light energy output by the transmitting optical fiber can be coupled to the receiving optical fiber to the maximum extent, and Minimize the impact on the system due to its involvement in the optical link.

This is the basic requirement for fiber optic connectors. To a certain extent, optical fiber connectors affect the reliability and performance of optical transmission systems. Optical fiber connector is an indispensable device for connecting various devices in optical fiber communication system, and it is also the most used optical fiber device at present.

Due to the gradual optical fiberization of local communication networks and the rising demand for metropolitan area networks and user access networks, the total demand for the global optical fiber connector market has continued to expand in recent years, and the annual growth rate is expected to be around 20% in the next decade.​​
