Reliability and performance of fiber optic connectors

Fiber optic connector is a device that allows for detachable (movable) connections between optical fibers. It precisely connects the two end faces of the optical fiber to maximize the coupling of the optical energy output by the transmitting fiber to the receiving fiber, and minimize the impact on the system due to its involvement in the optical link. This is the basic requirement of fiber optic connectors. To a certain extent, fiber optic connectors affect the reliability and performance of optical transmission systems.
