Optical connectors / optical cords are used between the transmitting equipment and the patch panel. Optical connectors enable high quality connection by attaching a ferrule to the tip of the optical fiber, giving it a mirror surface shaped finish and adjusting the optical axis. Optical cords reinforce the circumference of optical fiber with tensioning material and increase mechanical strength sufficiently by providing further cover.
Furukawa Electric has low loss multicore connector connection technology equivalent to single core, and customers are using products with connectors in a wide range of fields including high density wiring and inter-connection wiring, etc.
