![]() Although fiber cable losses do escalate depending on the type and quality of fiber installed, each connection point imparts a definitive loss. In other cases, the choice of connectivity for most or all of the fiber distribution may rest with you. ![]() Perhaps the fiber transmission equipment itself will dictate connectivity. Ultimately, questions about the physical connection must be answered. Whereas copper connections rarely have a significant signal loss impact in AV applications, fiber connections do have measurable impact at each interface point within a distribution system. Unlike the steadfast, ubiquitous BNC connector used for copper coaxial wiring in AV, fiber connectors are evolving with the maturity of fiber technology. In this issue, we will look at the Subscriber Connector - SC, Straight Tip- ST, Fixed Connection - FC, and Lucent - LC fiber connectors, their application, performance, and their termination requirements. In the last issue of Technically Speaking, I presented the basic characteristics and considerations for the fiber conductor. Which equipment transmission format should be used: analog or digital? Is digital transmission hardware available? Does this application require multimode or singlemode fiber? How do I deal with the customer's existing installed fiber? What fiber connectors do I use? Figure 1: ST style connectors - booted black tip pictured above and unbooted below. The fiber transmission solution is still a serious investment consideration requiring careful planning and implementation. A fiber solution may sound like a great idea for those challenging long-haul or highly secure applications, and then reality sets in. Optical fiber transmission of AV signals has come of age and it's time to take another step along this new, adventurous road. Static Side Load 900 μm Buffer 0.By Steve Somers, Vice President of Engineering Cable Torsion 1.5 to 2.5 kg for 2 to 3 mm cable diameter Vibration 10 to 55 Hz, 1 octave/min: 3 axis of 15 cycles, 0.5 h/axis, amplitude 0.75 mm FC Type Connector for Single Mode and Multi Mode Fibers All components of the connector are RoHS and REACH compliant. The ferrules are packed in blisters of 100 pieces each. Further accessories include a dust cap with latch for dust protection.Įach separate component of the FC crimp type connector kits is packed as standard in transparent plastic bags of 500 pieces. Other boot colours are available on request. A 3 mm, 90° boot (black) is available as accessory, suitable for 1.6 to 3 mm fiber optic cable. On request, the FC/PC connector kits are also available with wide key 2.2 mm type N (2.09 to 2,14 mm).Īll these FC connector kits can be ordered either as multi-piece or pre-assembled one-piece versions. ![]() Standard key width for both FC/PC and FC/APC connector kits is narrow key 2 mm type R, with a key width of 1.97 mm (min) to 2.02 mm (max). Optoplast FC connector kits are supplied as standard in three configurations – multi mode (black boot), single mode PC (black boot) and single mode APC (green boot for 2 mm cables only). Crimp is available for 1.6, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mm fiber optic cable, while FC/PC and FC/APC connectors for Ø 900 μm buffer don’t provide a crimp option. ![]() Optoplast’s FC/PC and FC/APC crimp type connector kits are suitable for application with single mode and multi mode optical fibers. FC connectors are equipped with a mechanical key (available in two sizes – narrow key 2 mm type R / wide key 2.2 mm type N) to prevent fiber rotation when the plug is screwed into the receptacle. Within FC connectors, the fiber is inserted in a spring-loaded, floating ferrule with 2.5 mm diameter, providing good mechanical isolation of the contact and allowing the use in environments with high vibration. These screw-in type fiber optic cable connectors use a threaded plug and socket for strong contact and high stability. FC/PC, FC/APC – 2 mm Type R (Narrow Key), 2.2 mm Type N (Wide Key) Ferrule Outer Diameter 2.5 mm Bore Tolerance 0/+1 µm Crimp 1.6, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 mmįC fiber optic cable connectors are popular connector types for single mode fibers, although they can also be used for multi mode applications. ![]()
