3M demonstrated extended fiber optic connector system to reduce dust sensitivity

3M used the OFC 2019 in San Diego earlier this month to demonstrate its extended fiber optic connector system.The extended beam optical core USES contactless optical coupling, combined with the connector design, to reduce sensitivity to dust and improve signal integrity, the company said.As a result, the design reduces the need for maintenance and cleaning.

Fiber optic connectors are available in both single-mode (1310 nm) and multimode (850 nm) versions.Single-mode version of the specified insertion loss "0.70 dB, return loss" 55 dB.Multimode peer support specified insertion loss "0.30 dB, return loss" 25 dB.The connector system can accommodate 12 to 192 optical fibers.

The connector system is designed with low component number and hermaphroditic component geometry, and can withstand repeated mating through LC latch.According to 3M, the connector should meet the requirements for multi-link data center applications.Dr Nick Stacey, global laboratory manager at 3M, said the connectors are particularly popular for applications where cleaning and maintenance is difficult, such as onboard optical systems.
