The optical fiber connector

What is the function of the fiber optic connector, and what is the material of the fiber optic connector? According to the structure of its connector, fiber optic connectors are divided into many types, such as FC, SC, ST, LC and other types of connectors. However, the core components of various types of fiber optic connectors are the same, and they all use high-precision components, namely two ferrules and a coupling tube to achieve fiber alignment and connection.

The emergence of various types of fiber optic connectors has solved the problem of fiber optic connections under different conditions. In order to adapt to various environments, the performance characteristics of fiber optic connectors become very important. For example, optical performance, interchangeability, repeatability, tensile strength and temperature adaptability of fiber optic connectors have specific requirements.

Among them, the optical performance is the most important, which determines the transmission power of the optical fiber. Since the fiber optic connector is a passive device, it is a kind of general-purpose device, which requires that the fiber optic connector must be used in any combination and reused, that is, the interchangeability and repeatability of the fiber optic connector are better.

Industry requirements: the tensile strength of the fiber optic connector must not be lower than 90N, and the normal operating temperature range of the fiber optic connector must be between -40°C and 70°C.

After understanding the composition and main performance of the fiber optic connector, it is not difficult for us to think of the role of the fiber optic connector: the fiber optic connector realizes the low-loss connection between the fiber and the relationship or between the fiber and the cable, and it serves the customer service of the fiber connection. The influence caused by the signal enables our communication transmission to be effectively transmitted in different environments. And different types of fiber optic connectors meet our needs in different fiber optic connection situations.

What is the composition material of optical fiber connector

Mainly PEI, polyetherimide, amber transparent solid, without any addition, it has inherent flame retardancy and low smoke. The combustion grade is UL94-V-0, and the density is 1.28~1.42g/cm3.

PEI resins are high-performance amorphous engineering thermoplastics that combine high performance with excellent processing characteristics, combining high heat resistance with high strength, modulus and broad chemical resistance.
