Optical Connectivity - Connectors
FAST-SC & ST Connectors
AFL’s new Fast Connectors are pre-polished, field installable
connectors that eliminate the need for hand polishing in the field.
Fast Connectors provide an immediate termination to either single-mode
or multimode fibers.
FAST Connectors feature a pre-stubbed factory-polished ferrule that
couples to the fiber being terminated by precision mechanical
alignment and insures low loss with a proprietary gel. Each FAST
Connector comes with a factory-installed wedge clip that holds the
clamping device open while the fiber is inserted. Once the fiber is in
place, the wedge clip is removed and discarded.
Features:
• Easy assembly process
• Fiber can be reseated
• No expensive tools required
• No epoxy required
• Factory polishing eliminates loss concerns
• Meets TIA/EIA 568A performance requirements
Field Master™ LC, SC, & ST Connectors
AFL Telecommunications’ Field Master Connectors for field
termination of fiber optics feature high precision, high reliability
and low applied connector cost.
Features:
• High precision ceramic ferrules insure fiber alignment and
repeatable performance.
• Rugged metal connector bodies provide sturdy cable terminations.
• Industry standard interfaces allow interoperability with media
equipment.
• Meets EIA/TIA 568A performance requirements.
• Field proven crimp technology improves connector/cable tensile
performance.
Loopback Connector
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.
Plastic Optical Fiber Data Link System
The AFL Optical Data Link combines the benefits of fiber optic
signaling with the convenience of plug-in PCB electrical termination.
Features:
• Terminates plastic fiber optic cable in seconds without tools,
adhesives or polishing
• Compatible with 1000µm diameter simplex fiber with an OD of 2.25mm
or 5mm
• Polarized plug provides positive, snap retention with a
quick-release latch
• No epoxy required
• Factory polishing eliminates loss concerns
• Meets TIA/EIA 568A performance requirements
Applications:
• Industrial Controls
• Automation remote sensing
• Audio visual links
• Automotive networking
• Office communication equipment
Precision Connectors
Custom drilled hole sizes are produced very precisely in the metal
ferrules of industry standard connectors such as the ST, FC and SMA. A
range of sizes from 140 micron to 1235 microns are typical, but
customer specific sizes are possible.
Features:
• Precision hole diameter and position
• Stainless steel or steel alloy ferrules
• Ruggedized connector construction
• Industry standard SMA, ST, or FC interfaces
• Applicable to large core glass or plastic fibers
• Custom sizes available
