Photonic Products announces the launch of a range of universal adaptor receptacle packaged laser diodes that will accept FC, ST, SC and most other 2.5mm diameter ferrule connectors.
The main market for these universal adaptors is manufacturers of visual fibre optic fault locators for communications networks, who need to be able to offer simple to use, quick and reliable equipment, therefore the universal adaptors are fitted with a split sleeve alignment mechanism, which gives better than 1dB repeatability on coupling.
The range includes visible wavelength receptacle packaged laser diodes and telecoms wavelength receptacle packaged laser diodes, encompassing the 300-0081-00 offering 0.8mW fibre output power at a wavelength of 650nm, the 300-0081-01 offering 0.8mW fibre output power at a wavelength of 635nm, the 300-0081-04 offering 0.8mW fibre output power at a wavelength of 670nm, the 300-0081-02 offering 0.6mW fibre output power at a wavelength of 1310nm and the 300-0081-03 offering 0.6mW fibre output power at a wavelength of 1550nm.
Custom receptacle packages can be fitted with any 5.6mm package laser diode that a customer may require for their particular application.
A visual fibre optic fault locator uses a red laser with sufficient power to shine through the fibre jacket and thus reveal fibre breaks. It indicates points of high loss by emitting continuous or pulsing red light.
They can be used for simple continuity checks, but are most effective when used to find bends, breaks and kinks on a communications network within patch panels and splice trays.
