Fiber optic connectors are used to transmit optical data from one source to another. They are typically used in communication networks, such as telephone or data lines, and in industrial applications, such as medical, automotive, and aerospace (to name a few). Moreover, they serve as a more reliable method to provide secure optical connections between two devices or networks.

The 5504567-2 fiber optic connector is a high density industrial connector manufactured by TE Connectivity. It is one of the most popular connectors used in the aerospace industry due to its compact size and rugged-build that is suitable for harsh environments. It is also suitable for indoor applications due to its low profile and dust-resistant materials.

The connector comprises of a male plug with an integral precision backshell, and a female receptacle with an integral precision backshell. The 5504567-2 features a two-piece hermetic design that provides optimum performance and enhanced vibration protection. The hermetic seal is made of stainless steel, and is designed to seal with the mating parts in order to prevent contaminants from entering the system.

In addition, the 5504567-2 connector features an innovative “equalizer” design which provides equal force on both mating ends. This helps ensure a positive connection between the plug and receptacle. The connector is designed to fit in industry standard round holes and is compatible with 0.375” panel openings.

This connector is suitable for both single-mode and multimode fiber optic applications, and is available in various fiber counts and fiber types (such as 50/125 and 62.5/125). It is also available in multiple different types of termination styles, making it highly flexible for a wide range of applications.

The working principle of the 5504567-2 is quite straightforward. The male plug and female receptacle are connected via a V-groove contact system. This contact system ensures that optimum electrical and optical performance is attained. The contact system also includes a robust locking mechanism that provides safe and secure connections between the plug and receptacle.
