Introduction

Fiber optic connectors are essential components in any fiber optic cable application. They allow connection and disconnection of optical fibers quickly and conveniently. Amongst the various types of connectors available, 8408BK-DCM stands out for its unique design and outstanding performance. This article will discuss the 8408BK-DCM application field and its working principle.

Application Field of 8408BK-DCM

8408BK-DCM is a duplex LC fiber optical connector, which adds an adapter over the LC connector to enhance durability and improve the connection between the optical fibers. This adapter, which can come in either a single or a double configuration, works as a buffer between the LC connector and the insertion of the fiber into the fiber adapter. This means that 8408BK-DCM can be used for both single-mode and multi-mode applications. These 8408BK-DCM connectors are typically used for connections between two or more optical cable assemblies, such as between datacenter patch panels and active equipment. It is also popular in network hubs, patch panels, or walls boxes in both single-mode and multi-mode applications. 8408BK-DCM can also be used for outside plant applications, with the added durability of its adapter aiding it in withstanding harsh weather conditions.

Working Principle of 8408BK-DCM

The working principle behind 8408BK-DCM is fairly straightforward. It consists of two parts, the LC connector and its adapter. The LC connector is the basic piece of hardware which connects the optical fiber to the source. It is composed of two ferrule pins which hold the optical fibers in place, and a latch clip which secures the connection. The adapter sits on top of the LC connector, and helps to connect the fiber to the cable assembly. When connecting the 8408BK-DCM connector, the plug is inserted into the plug receiving the adapter. The LC connector is then inserted into the plug receiving the LC ferrule. Finally, the latch clip is actuated and secured, ensuring a tight connection between the plug and the LC ferrule.

Conclusion

The 8408BK-DCM is an incredibly versatile and reliable fiber optic connector solution, designed to withstand wear and tear from both indoor and outdoor applications. Its unique combination of LC connector and its adapter make it an ideal connector for various single-mode and multi-mode applications. Working principle behind 8408BK-DCM is straightforward, with the connector securing its connection in three steps.
