When establishing an optical communication line of one of the main problems is the necessity of a compound fiber with each other. This problem can be solved through the use of connectors volokonnopticheskih.
Fiber-Optic connectors (connectors, connectors) intended for the connection of optical fibers. Their main feature is the possibility of multiple connections and disconnections of optical fibers by means of connectors and plugs (Unlike welds).
What are fiber optic connectors
Today, in the online store Setevukha, a huge range of optical connectors is offered that greatly simplifies the installation of FOCL, see here https://setevuha.ua/opticheskie-sistemi/opticeskie-konnektory/. In general, fiber optic connectors can be divided into:
- Permanent connections - is carried out by welding or gluing lugs fiber optic cable. Related optical cables in such compounds can not be separated without destroying the structure of the compound.
- Removable connectors - designed for quick connection and disconnection of optical fibers.
Most Popular Connectors (in historical sequence):
- ST (a bayonet connection),
- FC (Threaded body. Ferrule Connector),
- SC (with a rectangular cross-section, English. Standard Connector),
- LC (Little Connector).
SC connector ensures quick and easy connection. FC connectors are threaded joint and relatively larger in comparison with other connectors. The main advantage of LC connectors is their small size, whereby they can be used in areas with a high density of connections. Besides, they have a system of protection against accidental excavated connector. Each connector type appears in two forms: UPC (English. Ultra Physical Contact) и APC (English. Angled Physical Contact).
