Fiber Optic Panel Angled Connector

Connectors with APC finishes are made by polishing the fiber at either an 8 or 9 degree angle, with a radius of curvature between 5 and 12 mm (See figure 1). By angle polishing the end of the fiber, one ensures that reflections at the fiber-air interface are not captured. Corning manufactures a full line of high-performance APC (angle polish connector) fiber connectors and adapters. These connectors. A fiber optic connector is a mechanical device used to align and join optical fibers, enabling light to pass through with minimal loss. Unlike fiber splicing, which is permanent, connectors allow for easy connection and disconnection of cables, making them ideal for maintenance and flexibility in. Due to space saving design the opticalCON panels are the ideal solution for cramped rack applications as for example OB truck I/O panels. Further the mated cables have best cable bend protection due to 45° angled outlet position.
