What’s the important Parameter of Fast Connector?
1. Insertion loss & Return loss
Insertion loss and return loss is the basic parameter of fast connector.
The insertion loss smaller, the fast connector better, The general requirement should be no more than 0.5dB. Surfiber fast connector insertion loss is less than 0.3Db..
Return loss is the ability of the connector to suppress the reflection of optical power on the link. The typical value should not be less than 25dB. The actual application of the connector, the pin surface after a special polishing process, can make the return loss greater, generally not less than 45dB. Surfiber fast connector return loss UPC≥50, APC≥60.
2. Interchangeability, repeatability
Fast connectors are universal passive devices. For the same type of fiber-optic connector, they can generally be used in any combination and can be used repeatedly. Therefore, the introduced additional losses are generally within the range of less than 0.2 dB.
3. Tensile Strength (N)
the tensile strength is generally required to be not less than 40N.
4. Work Temperature (℃)
General requirements, fast connectors can be used normally in -40 °C ~ +70 °C temperature environment
5. Mechanical Durability Performance
More than 1000 times
