8106 Connectors, Interconnects

Fiber optic connectors refer to devices or fibers used to connect optical fiber cables with each other. 8106 connector is a standard one-piece fiber optic connector that is easy to install and widely used in many industries. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of 8106 connector in detail.

Application Field of 8106 Connector

8106 connector can be widely used in medical, communication, test and measurement, automotive and other industries. In medical industry, 8106 connector is usually used in high-speed medical imaging or medical interconnection systems. In communication industry, 8106 connector is widely used in very high bit rate optical systems, such as 100G,200G or 400G Ethernet, optical fiber communications, broadcast winders and optical channels. Besides, 8106 connector can also be used in measurement and test applications, such as aerospace and defense systems, as well as in automotive industry, such as in-car cameras.

Working Principle of 8106 Connector

The 8106 connector can be divided into three components: the fibers and the connector body. The fiber ribbons and the connector body are connected to two independent units, and the two units are connected by a spring and latch. And then, the two units of the 8106 connector are placed in the receptacle.

When connecting, insert the connector from the receiving end. First, the protrusion of the connector fits in the V-groove of the receptacle, so that the connector is slightly deformed. Then the latch is pushed in, which drives the protrusion further along the V-groove and drives the spring. This movement causes the connector body to be pushed into the receiving end, and the bend of the fiber ribbons is bent back. The protrusion of the connector is locked into the receiving end, thus achieving a reliable connection.

Conclusion

In conclusion, 8106 connectors are widely used in medical, communication, test and measurement, automotive and other industries. And their working principle is that the protrusion of the connector is locked into the receiving end, thus achieving a reliable connection. With its advantages of easy to install, 8106 connector has become a popular choice for many industries.
