This paper describes a simplified model linking MT ferrule and connector attributes to positive contact performance. Validation with FEA, experimental apparatus and empirical results are described, along with topics for future study.
Multimode fiber is increasingly being used in high data rate (> 100 Mb/s) systems with both short (< 2 km) and long (>2 km) system fiber lengths. Obtaining reliable system performance at an economical price in these types of applications requires more precise multimode link design methodologies than previously required for low data rate, short length implementations. The Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronics Industry Association (TIA/EIA) Working Group FO-2.2 generated a draft Multimode Fiber Optic Link Design Standard to address any multimode fiber optic system application up to 500 Mb/s. This paper discusses the approaches used in the draft TIA/EJA Multimode Fiber Optic Link Transmission Design Standard and shows a comparison ofthe system performance predicted using the standard versus actual system performance for several simple implementations. 0-8194-1339-9/94/$6.00 Downloaded From: http://proceedings.spiedigitallibrary.org/ on 06/16/2016 Terms of Use: http://spiedigitallibrary.org/ss/TermsOfUse.aspx
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
