Fiber Optic Connectors

Fiber optic connectors are an integral part of the communications infrastructure and necessary for the transmission of optical signals. They provide reliable mechanical connections and provide a pathway for light so that fiber optic cables can be connected to transceivers or other devices.

The 1828861-5 connector is a single fiber connector, optimized for use in Gigabit Ethernet applications, and designed to be interchangeable with other connectors. It has been developed for use in environments where the connector must be sealed from the external environment in order to preserve the integrity of the signal.

Application Field

The 1828861-5 connector is primarily intended for applications in the Gigabit Ethernet market. Specifically, it is intended for use in applications such as high-speed backplanes, DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks, computer telephony, storage area networks, and multi-mode fiber links. In addition, the connector is well-suited for applications in the optical communications, industrial process control, and energy industries.

Working Principle

The 1828861-5 connector utilizes a push and lock system that ensures a reliable connection. This connector employs a push-pull locking mechanism which enables it to be plugged in and locked securely with just one hand. The connection is achieved without using any tools. Additionally, the connector is resistant to EMI (electromagnetic interference) and has a high mating cycle life.

When the connector is inserted into the mating port, two spring-loaded catches activate on both sides of the connector. The catches hold the connector in place and also provide the necessary alignment for an optimal connection. When the connector is completely removed from the port, the catches reset to their original position and the connector is ready to be re-inserted.

Conclusion

The 1828861-5 connector is a reliable and cost-effective solution for applications in the Gigabit Ethernet market. Its push and lock system ensures a secure connection without the need for any tools. Additionally, the connector is resistant to EMI and has a high mating cycle life. As a result, it is well-suited for a wide range of applications in the optical communications, industrial process control, energy, and other industries.
