Fiber Optic Connectors

Fiber optic connectors are used to facilitate the connection of optical fiber cables. They typically employ a push/pull mating action, and are used in telecommunication, data storage and high-speed computing applications to join optical fibers together. Depending on the form-factor and application, the two fibers may be single-mode or multi-mode. 1060035400 is a type of fiber optic connector.

Application Field

1060035400 is mainly used in long distance telecommunication systems and data communication networks. In particular, 1060035400 connectors are used when the fiber optic transmission medium requires a low signal loss. Typical deployments include CATV networks, FTTx systems, aerospace systems, and government networks.

Working Principle

As mentioned above, the 1060035400 fiber optic connector uses a simple push/pull mechanism to attach the optical fibers. To create the interconnection, the two distinct fiber ends are inserted into the plug, and then the plug is inserted into the receptacle. Both components have a slot with a beveled end at one side. Inserting the plug into the receptacle causes the beveled sides to create a seal, providing a low-loss connection. The connection geometry ensures the fibers are aligned for perfect optical coupling.

The 1060035400 connector is designed to provide quick-connection capabilities, by allowing the plug to be inserted with just one hand. It is an environmentally sealed connector, meaning that there is almost no degradation in performance due to exposure to various environmental & climatic conditions. The connector is predominantly sold with a hand-polished zirconia ferrule for better performance.
