Optical Connectivity - Connector Accessories
Adapters
Adapters are used to mate industry standard connectors. Adapters are
available with metal and ceramic alignment sleeves, and are color
coded for easy identification.
Buildout Attenuators
Buildout-style attenuators provide superior performance for all
single-mode in line attenuation requirements. Standard attenuation
values are 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20dB. Buildout attenuators are available
in SC, ST, LC, and FC connector styles.
Features:
• Long-term reliability
• Excellent environmental stability
• Ruggedized connector construction
• Low ripple, wavelength independent attenuation
• Certified to more than 125mw continuous power handling capability
with no degradation in performance
• Polarization insensitive
• Telcordia™ approved
Specifications:
• Standard Attenuation Values: 5, 10, 15 and 20dB
• Attenuation Tolerance: Standard at 10%
• Ruggedized connector construction
• Operating Temperature Range:
-40 to +75°C
• Vibration resistance: <0.1X attenuation value
• Back Reflection:
-55dB in Ultra Polish (UPC)
-60dB in Angle Polish (APC)
• Operating Wavelength:
1310 & 1550nm +/-25nm
Terminators
Optical terminators are used to terminate unused connector ports in
fiber optic systems so that unwanted reflections are not introduced
back into the system. All AFL optical terminators feature zirconia
ferrules for long life and durability.
SC & FC Optical Terminators
SC and FC optical terminators are used to terminate unused connector
ports in fiber optic systems so that unwanted reflections are not
introduced back into the system. All AFL optical terminators feature
zirconia ferrules for long life and durability.
Loopback Connectors
This standard fiber channel design is used in testing transceiver
systems. The loopback is rugged and compact to withstand multiple uses
and features a flexible length for any testing requirements.
Fanout Kits
Fanout kits route 250µm fiber into 900µm tubes ready for
connectorization. Easily installed in minutes, these kits require no
special tools. Color coded tubing assists with easy identification.
The furcation unit snaps together eliminating epoxy. Loose tube fanout
kits are available in 6 and 12 fiber configurations.
Fiber Optic Termination Kit
Deluxe kit for termination of MM and SM ST-SC-FC connectors on tight
buffered fiber. See
