Special optical fiber connectors for removable connections are also available.

As a high precision alignment sleeve for optical fiber connector ferrules.

Optical fibers are connected to terminal equipment by optical fiber connectors.

Optical fiber connectors are used to join optical fibers where a connect/disconnect capability is required.

Optical fiber connectors are used in telephone company central offices, at installations on customer premises, and in outside plant applications.

A Lapping film is designed to provide a uniform, consistent finish of optical fiber connectors end tips to insure efficient light/signal transmission.

Lapping film in the telecommunications market is a precision coated abrasive consumable mainly used for processing and polishing optical fiber connectors.

Most optical fiber connectors are spring-loaded, so the fiber faces are pressed together when the connectors are mated.

An optical fiber connector terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing.

These housings may also allow intermixing of electrical and non-electrical interfaces, examples of the latter being pneumatic line connectors, and optical fiber connectors.

A variety of optical fiber connectors are available, but SC and LC connectors are the most common types of connectors on the market.

Alternatives to fusion splicing include using optical fiber connectors or mechanical splices both of which have higher insertion losses, lower reliability and higher return losses than fusion splicing.

The latest industry requirements for optical fiber connectors are in Telcordia GR-326, Generic Requirements for Singlemode Optical Connectors and Jumper Assemblies.

Mini-TOSLINK is a standardized optical fiber connector smaller than the standard square TOSLINK connector commonly used in larger consumer audio equipment.

In order to package fiber into a commercially viable product, it typically is protectively coated by using ultraviolet (UV), light-cured acrylate polymers, then terminated with optical fiber connectors, and finally assembled into a cable.

In fiber optics and telecommunications, an index-matching material may be used in conjunction with pairs of mated connectors or with mechanical splices to reduce signal reflected in the guided mode (known as return loss) (see: Optical fiber connector).

The company offers optical fiber connectors/adaptors, optical test instruments, micro-optical devices, dispersion compensation modules, subsystems, photo detectors, fiber optical couplers/splitters, optical switches/attenuators, WDM/DWDM/CWDM/OADM modules, and optical amplifiers.

Breakout boxes span a wide spectrum of functionality: (i) some serve to break out every signal connection coming into a unit while others breakout only specific signals commonly monitored for either testing or troubleshooting purposes; and some are used on electrical connectors and others are used on optical fiber connectors.
