1278705-2 Connectors, Interconnects

Fiber Optic Connectors - Accessories

The 1278705-2 Fiber Optic Connector is a reliable and high performance category-rated connections for multimode, single-mode and polarization-maintaining fibers. This type of connector is specifically designed for use in applications where minimal losses, secure connectivity and repeatability are of utmost importance.

Apart from its reliable performance and security, the 1278705-2 connector is especially attractive due to its extremely low insertion and return losses. These connectors provide a connection ability with lower than 0.2dB insertion loss and a return loss of greater than 50 decibels. The connectors also allow for direct mating, which makes installation significantly simpler and quicker than conventional connector types.

Application Field

The 1278705-2 connector is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications due to its excellent environmental performance. It is primarily used in fiber optic transceiver systems for 10G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and Gigabit Ethernet.

Other applications include within aerial and riser cables or patch panels as well as within Central Office Long Haul communication deployments. It is also frequently used as the interconnect type of choice for FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) and FTTD (fiber-to-the-desk) applications.

Working Principle

The 1278705-2 optical interconnects are designed strictly according to the Telcordia standard for optimal performance, reliability, and durability. This standard requires that any precision connections used on fiber optic networks should meet stringent requirements of typical tensile stress, helium-leak tightness, vibration, and thermal cycles.

Furthermore, the connector has a self-latching feature, which allows for quick installation without the need of any wrapping or locking. The connector features a two-layer guide system which comprises of a locating post and four ceramic pins.

The pins are made from a highly rigid material which provides consistently repeatable optical performance even over multiple insertions. This, in combination with the two-layer guide system, ensures that the same connection is achieved, and the same level of optical performance is retained every time.

Conclusion

The 1278705-2 connector is a reliable and high performance connection system specifically designed for applications where minimal losses, secure connectivity, and repeatability are of paramount importance. It provides optimal performance, reliability, and durability due to its high standard for optimal performance. Furthermore, its self-latching feature, two-layer guide system, and ceramic pins provide a consistently repeatable optical performance every connection.
