"SC/FC/ST Fiber Optic Copper Sleeve Protector Phosphor Bronze Sleeve" specifically refers to the phosphor bronze fiber optic copper sleeve protector compatible with SC, FC, and ST interface specifications. Its core function is to provide physical protection and performance assurance for key components of fiber optic connectors. Detailed descriptions are as follows:
SC, FC, and ST are all mainstream connector interface specifications in the field of fiber optic communications. This protector can be precisely matched with the aforementioned interface types to achieve standardized assembly.
The fiber optic copper sleeve protector is a key auxiliary component of fiber optic connectors. It is mainly used for mechanical protection of precision components inside the connector, such as ceramic ferrules and fiber end faces, to prevent physical damage caused by plugging/unplugging operations and environmental factors. Among them, the phosphor bronze sleeve, as the core functional part of the protector, relies on its excellent material properties (high elasticity, strong wear resistance, and good corrosion resistance) to effectively buffer plugging/unplugging stress and reduce contact wear. This further ensures the plugging/unplugging service life (usually up to thousands of times or more) and long-term connection stability of the connector.
This type of fiber optic copper sleeve protector is widely compatible with various fiber optic communication systems, with core application scenarios including:
- Terminal and line connection links in fiber-to-the-x (FTTX) access network projects;
- Fiber optic link deployment in local area networks (LAN) and data centers;
- Fiber optic transmission links in security monitoring systems;
- Harsh environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI)/radio frequency interference (RFI), such as industrial control and rail transit;
- It can be used to connect FC, SC, and other types of fiber optic cables under multi-mode and single-mode standards, adapting to different transmission bandwidth and distance requirements.
- The functional sleeve is made of high-purity phosphor bronze, featuring stable mechanical properties and adapting to the long-term plugging/unplugging needs of connectors;
- High assembly precision, which can effectively control the insertion loss of fiber connections (typical value ≤ 0.2dB) and ensure optical signal transmission efficiency;
- The overall structure undergoes reliability design, with excellent environmental adaptability and durability, meeting the requirements of industrial-grade application scenarios;
- Compliant with RoHS and other environmental protection standards as well as relevant technical specifications in the fiber optic communication industry, adapting to standardized engineering applications.
