Fiber Optics

Fiber optics, also named  fibre optics, is the science of transmitting data, voice, and images by the passage of light through thin, transparent fibers.It is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair.

A fiber optic patch cord is a fiber optic cable capped with connectors at both ends that allows convenient and fast transmission of light. Those with only one connector are widely called as pigtails. We offer fiber optic components and various fiber optic patch cords.

Basically, there are some classify for the fiber optic: classify by fiber type, connector/diameter/cable length etc.

• Fiber Optics classify by fiber type

OS2 9/125μm—Singlemode(Jacket is mainly yellow)
OM1 62.5/125μm—multimode(Jacket is mainly orange)
OM2 50/125μm—multimode(Jacket is mainly orange)
OM3 50/125μm—multimode(Jacket is mainly aqua)
OM4 50/125μm—multimode(Jacket is mainly violet, magenta)

Diameter: 250μm bare fiber, 900μm tube, 2.0mm jacket, 3.0mm jacket, customized diameter etc available

• Fiber Optics classify by connector type

The common types of fiber optic connectors are LC, SC, MTP/MPO, ST, and FC. LC connector tends to be the most preferred one due to its compact size, high performance, and ease of use. In addition, for multi-fiber connectors, the MTP/MPO connectors are also gaining popularity for 40G and 100G data transmissions.

The main difference between APC and UPC connectors is the fiber endface. APC connectors feature a fiber endface that is polished at an eight-degree angle; UPC connectors are polished with no angle. UPC connectors are not exactly flat, however; they have a slight curvature for better core alignment. Another more obvious difference is color. UPC connectors are blue while APC connectors are green.

You may also classify patch cord according to its fiber count, jacket material, cable length etc.

• Fiber Optics classify according to fiber count

Simplex and duplex cables are most commonly used. Besides that, you may also choose bundle cable with 4Fiber/8Fiber/12Fiber/24Fiber/36Fiber/48Fiber etc.

• Fiber Optics Classify according to jacket material

Mainly PVC and LSZH

• Fiber Optics Classify according to cable length.

1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 30m…and customized length

The whole process in our factory will strictly follow the standard manufacturing process, which is highly efficient. The raw materials, manufacturing equipments, semi-finished products and finished products are multiple tested to ensure that every cable from AZE is of good quality.

Cutting the cable:Using advanced and precise cable-cutting machine

Curing: Curing the ferrule after the parts are assembled
Assembling: Assembling the rest parts into a complete connector
Polishing: 4 times polishing,30um-9um-1um-transparent polishing
Testing: testing the endface,insertion loss and return loss

 The fiber optic patch cords are widely used in: fiber optic telecommunication system, access network, data center, CATV, LAN, fiber optic test equipment, fiber sensor etc.In telecommunications, optical fibers have been used to replace copper wire in long-distance telephone lines and for linking computers within local area networks. Fiber optics is also the basis of the fiberscopes used for endoscopy or inspecting the interiors of manufactured structural products.

AZE provides customized products with various requirements to achieve more convenient, efficient and safe network system.
