5504646-3

Fiber optic connectors are used to securely connect two fibers together so that light can be transferred between them. The 5504646-3 is one of the most common connectors used in both single mode and multimode applications. It is a push-pull style connector, and is comprised of a mating sleeve, two ferrules, and a retaining sleeve.

Application Field:

The 5504646-3 connector is used in many fiber optic networks across multiple industries. It is suitable for single mode and multimode applications, and is commonly used in telecommunications, industrial controls, data centers, medical, and military applications. It is also a popular choice for machine vision applications, where light must be reliably and securely transferred from one source to another.

Working Principle:

The 5504646-3 connector uses a push-pull latching mechanism to ensure reliable connection and minimal loss of light. The connector has two small pieces of glass that are inserted into each side of the connector. The pieces of glass have microscopic channels cut into them, and these channels are used to guide the light from one end of the connector to the other. When the connector is mated together, the two pieces of glass align and create a “perfect connection” that minimizes loss of light.

To ensure a reliable connection, the connector utilizes a two-piece ferrule system. On the outside of the connector is a metal sleeve, known as the outer ferrule. Inside is the inner ferrule, which houses the two pieces of glass. The two pieces of glass are held in place by the inner ferrule, and the metal sleeve holds them in place when the connector is mated together. This two-piece system ensures reliable connection and minimal loss of light.

The 5504646-3 connector is a reliable, easy to use solution for many application fields. Its reliable connection and minimal loss of light makes it an ideal choice for many fiber optic applications.
