AA Fiber Adapters

Product information "AA Fiber Adapters"

Universal Adapters; Connector Type (Super, Ultra) NTT-FC/PC, SMA 905/906, AT&T-ST, (Angled) SC, Universal; Fiber Type Single Mode (Hybrid Patchcord, Lens Style), Multi Mode (Lens Style)

OZ Optics’ AA series of universal connectors and hybrid patchcords are designed for mating two patchcords that have different connectors on their ends. Butt joint style universal connectors feature different female receptacles on either side. Patchcords are simply plugged into either side, and the fiber ends butt together in the middle. These connectors offer an inexpensive and reliable way to connect matching single mode, multi mode, or polarization maintaining patchcords with differing fiber terminations.

Connectors with a universal ferrule adaptor design are also available, for connectors that have 2.5 mm diameter ferrules, or 1.25 mm diameter ferrules. These receptacles are best suited for temporary measurements and give added flexibility. Hybrid patchcords have a female receptacle on one side and a male connector on the other side. A small length of fiber lies within the device to transmit the light. Male-to-male hybrid patchcords are also available.

Lens style universal connectors are ideal for connecting fibers that have different optical characteristics. They consist of an input receptacle, a collimating lens, a focusing lens and the output receptacle. Light from the input fiber is first collimated, then focused back into the output fiber. The alignment is precisely controlled using OZ Optics’ patented alignment technique. Lens style universal connectors are tilt adjustable to compensate for any offsets between the fiber cores and the connector housings.

Please note that universal connectors will not couple light efficiently from a multi mode fiber into a single mode fiber. High losses are unavoidable in this situation, since multi mode fibers have both larger numerical apertures and larger core sizes.

Key Features:

  • Mates Patchcords With Different Connector Types
  • Connectors With Different Ferrule Sizes Supported
  • Minimizes Losses Between Fibers With Different Core Sizes And Numerical Apertures
  • Male To Female (Hybrid) Connector Versions
  • Rugged And Compact Design
  • Low Insertion and Return Losses

Applications: Patch Panel Interconnects; Fiber Distribution Hubs; Test And Measurement Stations; Optical Delivery Systems

ST Connector Kits
ST/PC; Ferrule Outer Diameter 2.5 mm; Bore Tolerance 0/+4 µm; Crimp 1.6, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 mm ST (Straight Tip) fiber optic cable connectors use a spring-loaded bayonet-style plug and socket. Within ST connectors, the fiber is inserted in a relatively long, cylindrical and floating ferrule with 2.5 mm diameter, providing good mechanical isolation of the contact.   A mechanical key prevents fiber rotation when the plug is attached to the receptacle. While the connector is preferably used for multi mode fibers it can also connect single mode fibers.  Optoplast’s ST crimp type connector kits are suitable for application with single mode and multi mode optical fibers. Crimp is available for 1.6, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mm fiber optic cable, while ST connector kits for Ø 900 μm buffer don’t provide a crimp option.  Optoplast ST connector kits are supplied as standard in two configurations – multi mode (black boot) and single mode PC (yellow boot). ST/APC connector kits are also available on request. For each of the different cable diameters, users can choose from a different selection of the additional boot colours white, blue, red, beige and green (see datasheet). Other boot colours are available on request.   90° boots (black) are available in 2 and 3 mm as accessory, suitable for 1.6 to 3 mm fiber optic cable. Further accessories include a dust cap with latch for dust protection. Each separate component of the ST crimp type connector kits is packed as standard in transparent plastic bags of 500 pieces. All components of the connector are RoHS and REACH compliant.  Key Features:  - ST Type Connector for Multi Mode and Single Mode Fibers  - Mating Durability >500 Connections  - Cable Retention 100 N, 120 s  - 900 μm Buffer Retention 5 N, 60 s  - Vibration 10 to 55 Hz, 1 octave/min: 3 axis of 15 cycles, 0.5 h/axis, amplitude 0.75 mm  - Repeated Bending Cable 100 cycles -90°/0°/+90°/0° 5 N Load  - Repeated Bending 900 μm Buffer 100 cycles -90°/0°/+90°/0° 0.2 N Load   - Cable Torsion 1.5 to 2.5 kg for 2 to 3 mm cable diameter  - Drop 1.5 m, 5 times  - Static Side Load 1 N, 1 h  - Static Side Load 900 μm Buffer 0.2 N, 5 min  - Temperature -25 (96 h) to +70 °C (96 h), 12 cycles  Applications: Fiber Coupling of Lasers, Test and Measurement, Life Science, Laboratory
