Connectors are very common in life, and connectors are used in major devices. For ordinary connectors, such as computer connectors, everyone is familiar enough. But for uncommon connectors, everyone feels a little unfamiliar. In order to improve your understanding of connectors, this article will introduce the difference between LC duplex connectors and conventional fiber optic connectors, and explain the types of electronic connectors.
1. The difference between LC duplex connectors/conventional fiber optic connectors
Ordinary LC double-core connectors are generally composed of two LC single-core connectors through clips, and each connector contains a single fiber. The LC Uniboot connector is an improved LC dual-core connector. Two optical fibers are simultaneously in a 2.4mm or 3.0mm sheath to achieve the function of single-tube dual-core, which can significantly reduce the space requirements for wiring. So what is the difference between LC uniboot connectors and regular LC fiber optic connectors?
1. Compact design to meet the needs of high-density applications
LC Uniboot adopts the design of double fiber single tube and integrated tail sleeve, which is used to eliminate the need of double chain cable. It is more compact and space saving than ordinary LC duplex fiber jumper, and reduces the overall bulk wiring by 50%. At the same time, it is conducive to the heat dissipation of the wiring system, and it can be used more reasonably to achieve greater energy efficiency.
2. The polarity can be changed, and the operation is simple and convenient
What is fiber polarity? Fiber polarity is the direction in which the optical signal propagates in the fiber. Normally, there are the transmitting signal end (Tx) and the receiving signal end (Rx). The LC Uniboot fiber optic connector innovatively sets the two plugs of the fiber optic connector into a mutually interchangeable design, which helps users to easily reverse the fiber polarity, and can easily open the ferrule and switch the polarity without any tools.
3. With pull rod design
Yiyuantong's exclusive patented design with a lever can unlock the connector with one hand in a high-density environment, which is simple and convenient. Even in high-density environments, push-pull levers make it easy to insert and unplug jumpers. Semi-wrapped tail end structure also prevents cable entanglement.
The innovative LC uniboot fiber optic connector, with its unique structure and compact design, performs better than conventional LC duplex connectors in a high-density wiring environment, and is an ideal choice for data centers and FTTX.
The above is the difference between the LC dual-core connector and the conventional fiber optic connector summarized by the editor. I hope everyone has some understanding. Below, we will discuss the types of electronic connectors.
2. Types of electronic connectors
Electronic connectors are also often referred to as circuit connectors, electrical connectors, which bridge two conductors on a circuit so that current or signals can flow from one conductor to another conductor. Regarding the classification of electronic connectors, at present, they are mainly distinguished from three aspects: shape, structure and use, as follows.
1) According to the shape: circular electrical connector, rectangular electrical connector. Circular electrical connectors are used the most in military equipment (aviation, aerospace). Rectangular electrical connectors are mostly used on printed circuit boards for electronic equipment.
2) According to the structure:
According to the connection method: threaded connection, bayonet (quick) connection, snap-lock connection, push-pull connection, in-line connection, etc.;
According to the termination form of the contact body: crimping, welding, wrapping; screw (cap) fixing;
According to environmental protection: environment-resistant electrical connectors and ordinary electrical connectors
3) According to the purpose: sealed electrical connector, high temperature electrical connector, separated electrical connector, filter electrical connector, power electrical connector.
