8408-CS

Fiber Optic Connectors - Adapters

The 8408-CS fiber optic connector is a widely used devices in the field of fiber optics. It is used to join two optical fibers together for signal transmission, typically in the form of an optical transition. It is an interlocking mechanism designed to join similar or dissimilar types of connectors. The 8408-CS is similar to other connectors in that it features a sleeve-over-spring connection mechanism, however, is designed for use in high-vibration environments which require high mechanical hold-force.

The 8408-CS fiber optic connector is a popular choice in a variety of applications. They can be used in telecommunications, digital broadcasting, video transmission, aerospace structures, medical devices, industrial instrumentation, and other specialized applications. They are most commonly used in singlemode (SM) and multimode (MM) POF (plastic optical fiber) couplings.

The 8408-CS fiber optic connector is designed for quick and easy connection. It has a spring-loaded insertion mechanism which creates a secure mechanical connection between the optical fibers. The spring-loaded mechanism ensures that even when connected in a high-vibration environment, the connection remains secure and reliable. The 8408-CS can be connected and disconnected manually using the standard two-finger technique.

The 8408-CS connector has a double-angled keyed internal contact strip which allows for a secure and positive connection between the two fibers. It is also designed to reduce back-reflection through its rounded front which eliminates reflections at the connection interface. The 8408-CS connector is also designed to reduce RF interference by providing a high level of electromagnetic shielding.

In addition to its mechanical and electrical features the 8408-CS connector is also designed to reduce fiber end-face contamination through its unique dust shield feature. The dust shield covers the exposed optical fiber face when the connector is not in use. This feature helps to prevent dirt and other foreign objects from entering into the connector and causing contamination.

The 8408-CS fiber optic connector is one of the most reliable and robust fiber-optic connectors on the market. It is used in a variety of applications due to its quick and easy installation, secure connection, improved back-reflection performance, RF shielding, and dust shield feature. The 8408-CS is the ideal solution for high-vibration environments where reliable and secure connections are essential.
