6588714-1

Fiber optic connectors refer to devices that allow one or more fiber optic cables to be connected with each other. 6588714-1 fiber optic connectors are popularly employed in telecommunications network and cable television system in order to establish a secure connection between the two ends of a pair of fiber optic cables. The 6588714-1 connector is mainly composed of a round receptacle, a coupling mechanism and two termini that help in inserting and fastening two pairs of connectors.

The 6588714-1 fiber optic connectors are widely used in both indoor cable TV systems and outdoor telecom networks. The primary application of this design is the interconnection of optical fiber with current and future generations of fiber optics network. Since these connectors employ the latest technology, they guarantee low insertion loss. This allows them to meet the stringent requirements of most telecommunications networks.

The 8-way 6588714-1 connector features a unique arrangement in which the two termini, along with the shell, are assembled and aligned in the form of a single unit. This allows for an easier installation and a higher strength. Additionally, the 6588714-1 connector utilizes a special friction-gripping mechanism that facilitates the connection between two sets of optical fibers. The device also features two built-in spring elements on each side that provide a secure grip on the inserted fiber.

The primary working principle behind a 6588714-1 fiber optic connector is based on the same principle as any other connector. This involves the insertion of one terminus into a mating connector to form an electrical connection. To facilitate this connection, the two termini are designed to fit firmly into the mating connector’s eyelets. The two termini are held in place by the friction generated as the two pieces separate from each other. This helps to disperse the bulk of the strain generated as the two pieces rotate and thereby, ensuring a secure connection.

Since the matings are protected by a secure locking mechanism, interference by environmental elements such as dust and moisture is greatly minimized. Coupled with this is the high precision assembly of the device’s components and the tightly-gripping spring elements on the termini, which ensure proper alignment at all times for excellent electrical integrity. Thus, the 6588714-1 fiber optic connectors provide an effective and secure connection for telecommunications networks and cable television systems.
