FO-EX-2LCBD2

Regular fiber optic connectors usually provide low coupling efficiency and low stability. For this reason, several other fiber optic connectors have been developed that can increase the performance of the overall connection. FO-EX-2LCBD2 is one of these connectors. It is a two-level connector with metal-based push-pull technology, where two independent elements – the inner connector and the outer sleeve – form the connection. As a result of this specific design, FO-EX-2LCBD2 offers up to 90% of coupling efficiency and stable performance even in severe increased temperatures.

FO-EX-2LCBD2 Application Field

The FO-EX-2LCBD connector is particularly suitable for applications that require high coupling performance, low insertion loss and low return loss, as well as excellent symmetric coupling in both directions. It can be used in a wide range of applications, including telecommunication systems, local area networks, and other data communication systems. FO-EX-2LCBD2 is well suited for high-speed fibre transmission up to 40Gbit/s.

FO-EX-2LCBD2 Working Principle

FO-EX-2LCBD2 features a compact, two-level design with metal-based mechanical properties and a push-pull system with a built-in spring-loaded mechanism. The inner connector is inserted into the outer sleeve until it reaches the second level. The inner connector is held by the contact force of the outer sleeve and the spring. This mechanism provides superior connection stability and excellent performance.

The coupled inner and outer elements are kept in contact regardless of the environmental conditions. The inner connector features an outer profile with a controlled low profile, so it can have a very precise alignment with the optimal position for the lowest insertion and return loss. This design also helps maintain the optimal optical coupling regardless of the environmental changes.

In addition, FO-EX-2LCBD2 has an additional locking system for additional connection stability and reliability. The integrated EMI / RFI shield eliminates any crosstalk and interference. The FO-EX-2LCBD2 connector comes in two versions, single mode and multi-mode.

Conclusion

FO-EX-2LCBD2 is one of the most reliable and high-performance fiber optic connectors. Its two-level design offers up to 90% coupling efficiency and improved coupling symmetries. It can be used in a wide range of applications such as telecommunication systems, LANs and other data communication networks. The connector has an additional locking system for further connection stability and an integrated EMI / RFI shield, which helps to reduce crosstalk and interference. The FO-EX-2LCBD2 connector is available in both single-mode and multi-mode versions.
