- The performance of fiber optic connectors is first of all optical performance, in addition to the interchangeability, repeatability,
- tensile strength, temperature and number of insertions and removals of fiber optic connectors.
- Optical performance: The optical performance requirements of fiber optic connectors are mainly the two basic parameters of insertion loss and return loss.
- Insertion Loss is the loss of the effective optical power of the link caused by the introduction of the connector.
- The smaller the insertion loss, the better. Generally, the requirement should be no more than 0.5dB.
