What is Fiber Optic Connector
Optical fiber connector is a device for detachable (movable) connection between optical fibers,It precisely connects the two end faces of the optical fiber to maximize the coupling of the optical energy into the receiving optical fiber and minimize the impact of the optical link on the system.
Fiber optic connectors include plugs that feature a ferrule that holds the fiber in place and an associated adapter for aligning and mating fibers to form a connection point.
In the 1970s, the ferrule was composed of metal or hard plastic, after decades of development, ceramic ferrules were introduced to improve alignment and provide lower －ion loss performance, lower cost, higher density, and easy to terminate.
The optical fiber connector is composed of three main components: the ferrule, the connector body and the coupling mechanism.
