The pre-embedded fast connector is crucial for field operation and FTTH projects. It is applied in places where a rapid connection is required on the construction site, providing fast and stable performance. This article provides the essential knowledge you need to know about pre-embedded fast connectors.
What is a Pre-Embedded Fast Connector?
A pre-embedded fast connector is a passive device to terminates the end of optical fiber and enables quicker connection and disconnection than fiber splicing. It mechanically couples and aligns the fiber cores to make light pass successfully. A pre-embedded fast connector is suitable for a 3.0 x 2.0mm drop cable or 0.9mm round cable (2.0 and 3.0mm round cables are optional). It is available in FC, SC, and LC connector types.
What is the Structure of a Pre-Embedded Fast Connector?
The pre-embedded fast connector has a pre-polished ceramic ferrule and pre-embedded structure. It simplifies the connection without a fusion splicing machine and enables quick assembly that requires only fiber preparation tools: cable stripping and a fiber cleaver. The connector adopts precision mechanical alignment and V-groove to ensure low loss and high performance. The pre-embedded fiber in the ferrule of the field assembly optical connector has already been pre-polished at the patchcord workshop. Just strip, cleave, and clean the fiber, and then insert the fixed-length fiber and connect it with the pre-embedded fiber by index-matching gel.
Features and Benefits
The pre-embedded fast connector provides the following features and benefits:
● Pre-embedded fiber and pre-polished ceramic ferrule
● Low insertion loss and high return loss
● Low cost and small size
● High precision of fiber connection and success rate
● High stability and reliability
● High flexibility and optical performance
● Easy operation and maintenance
● No epoxy, curing and polishing
Applications
The pre-embedded fast connector is used in FTTH projects, cabling systems, LAN/WAN, data centers, telecommunication networks, CATV/CCTV, test equipment, distribution frames/patch panels, fiber optic patch cord/pigtail, etc.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the pre-embedded fast connector is an ideal solution for FTTH fiber terminal and field assembly. It provides quick and easy terminations of fibers in the field and enables the installer to terminate and make connections in minutes at equipment and fiber patch panels. In addition, it provides high installation quality, success rate, and reliability.
