MU/D4/DIN Fiber Connector
Optic fiber connector is one of the most basic components in optical fiber
communications system. The earliest few types including FC, SC and MU were
developed by NTT in Japan and the Germany designed DIN 47256 type. In order to
reduce footprint, Bell Labs developed the LC type with a small volume to save
space. With rapid advances in fiber optic technology over the past decades,
these connectors have gained widespread popularity in the world.
Benefits
1. Corrosion resistant and durable
2. Low insertion loss
3. Ceramic, metal and plastic ferrules are available.
4. Different models offer various kinds of tail sleeves and colors.
5. SC and LC type connector can be equipped with a tail sleeve bent at 45 or 90
degrees.
6. Mechanical properties of SC/FC type meet standards of IEC 874-7 and CECC
86115-80.
7. Mechanical properties of SC type conform to EN 50173 and EIA-568-A standards.
8. ST type is compliant with IEC 874-10, CECC BFOC/2.5 and AT&T-STII standards.
9. Mechanical properties of LC type complies with IEC 11801, EIA 568A and
FOCIS10 standards.
10. Mechanical properties of MU type are in accordance with IEC 61754-6 and JIS
C5983 standards.
Applications
1. Through curing and grinding processes, the fiber connector, along with
various fibers, can be made into different kinds of patch cords and pigtails.
2. Optical fiber communication system, active devices and optical fiber sensors
3. Communication machine rooms
4. FTTH
5. Transmission equipment of fiber-optic link and national defense equipment
6. LANs and WANs
7. Telecommunication network and CATV
8. System debugging
