Overview of Fiber Optic Connectors - Adapters

Fiber optic connectors – adapters are essential components of any fiber optic communication networks. They are used to connect two pieces of fiber together allowing light to be transmitted between them. The implementation of different adapter types enables a wide range of different applications. This article focuses on fiber optic connectors - adapters, the application fields, as well as the principle of their operation.

Key Advantages of Fiber Optic Connectors - Adapters

Fiber optic connecting - adapters possess a few key advantages over conventional connectors. These include the lightweight and compact nature of the connectors, the dielectric insulation, and the high-speed data transfer rates. Fiber optic connectors are also immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and their simple locking mechanism allows for quick installation, making them attractive for high-density configurations.

Application Fields of Fiber Optic Connectors - Adapters

Fiber optic connectors – adapters are widely used in communication networks, broadcasting, and fiber optics laboratories. Along with this, they are ideal for applications requiring temperature stability, galvanic isolation, or the usage of direct current (DC) in a shielded environment. Additionally, they are also used in medical imaging, high-precision engineering systems and in optical sensing devices.

Working Principle of Fiber Optic Connectors - Adapters

Fiber optic connectors – adapters contain two precisely aligned mating surfaces that allow light through. The connector is usually composed of a ferrule, a mating sleeve, and a connector body, all of which are designed to reduce losses arising due to the mismatch between connector and ferrule. Specialized lenses within the connector body often help to reduce losses further.The mating process of the adapter is done using a jack-screw assembly, allowing for quick and secure connection in less than 40 seconds. When the adapter is connected, compressed air is blown around the adapters to ensure a clean and gas-free connection. The gas-free connection helps reduce losses due to air attenuation, thus providing a higher-quality connection.

Conclusion

Fiber optic connectors – adapters are essential components of fiber optic networks, as well as of a wide range of other applications. Their key advantages over traditional connectors – such as their lightweight and compact nature, dielectric insulation, and high-speed data transfer rates – make them attractive in more than one field. Furthermore, their working principle involves a jack-screw assembly that allow for quick and secure connection, and a gas-free connection via compressed air blowing which helps reduce signal loss and thus provide a higher-quality connection.
