Introduction

Thanks to its different technologies, mechanical and optical interfaces, the

F-3000™ fiber optic connector family can cover the most standard and customized requirements in response to the increasingly customer demands.

The F-3000™ SIMPLEX  is a small form factor SFF fiber optic connector based onto 1.25 mm ferrule style. It has been recently standardized as LF3 connector, thus clarifying and ensuring the mechanical compatibility of the F-3000™ connector with the LC adapter.

This opens access to a broad field of existing applications, and will be increased with new customer specific solutions.

The F-3000™ DUPLEX combines the familiarity of the SFF design and the optical performances of the F-3000™ simplex connector. It is based on components of the F-3000™ simplex version and is joined by a simple clip-bridge and a widened thumb-latch. The F-3000™ DUPLEX is the ideal solution for applications such as Fiber-to-the X (FTTX), including FTTC, FTTH, FTTD.ns.

The F-3000™ BACKPLANE combines the advantages of the F-3000™ SYSTEM with an optimal guiding mechanism for secure backplane connection. When mated, the PCB connector is retained in the mating adapter eliminating all stress on the PC Board.

It uses the standard components of the F-3000™ single fiber version which are joined by a simple clip-bridge that includes radial, angular and longitudinal compensation. Clip bridges are available for 2 and 4 connectors. The F-3000™ BACKPLANE is available in multimode, single mode, 0° (PC) and 8° angle polished (APC) versions.

The F-3000™ Backplane offers the same optical performances as the F-3000™ simplex connector.

Introduction

Diamond F-3000™ PS connector is designed for high power applications up to 3 Watts optical power for SM fibers. This has been developed to support the continuous rise of higher bitrates and longer transmission distances within DWDM technology.

Diamond PS connectors are based on contacted expanded beam technology; where a section of graded index fiber is spliced as a collimating lens, which enlarges the beam diameter and reduces power density at the connector interface.

Using Diamond Active Core Alignment (ACA) technology,

we can achieve unrivaled low IL performances. This technology is applicable to most connectors interfaces, but due to safety issues

Diamond suggests to use it on F-3000™ and E-2000™ connectors with integrated metal protection caps and shutters. F-3000™ PS connectors are available as simplex terminated connectors and backplane 2-4 channels.

Diamond’s ferrule assembly for F-3000™ connectors is a compact preconnectorized system which can be used in substitution to a standard

Break-out cable within ducts of very small size or to be blown into

Microducts, offering an easy and reliable solution to perform FTTx

Installations.

After installation, the ferrule assembly can easily and rapidly be connectorized, avoiding time-consuming and expensive field termination

tools and equipments.
