Fiber Optic Connectors

Fiber optic connectors provide mechanical coupling as well as optical alignment in locations where a removable joint is required. The alignment between fiber optic cable connectors is crucial to reduce losses due to reflection. Each fiber optic connector may be available for single-mode or multi-mode systems in simplex or duplex configurations. The main performance specs are insertion loss and return loss. Like all the electrical connectors you'll find on Octopart, these are designed by manufacturers like Molex and TE Connectivity to provide the highest quality and performance.
