Description
🏗 Key Engineering Features
-
Zinc Alloy Internal Stop: The cast metal stop provides a non-deformable anchor point for the zirconia ferrule, ensuring it remains perfectly seated even under temperature cycling or handling stress.
-
Precision 8° APC Polish: The green-coded housing signifies an 8-degree Angled Physical Contact end-face, achieving a return loss of ≥60dB to protect sensitive high-power laser equipment.
-
Advanced Anti-Pistoning: The metallic internal structure prevents the fiber core from shifting forward or backward (pistoning), a common cause of intermittent signal loss in plastic-only pigtails.
-
0.9mm Tailored Ergonomics: Featuring a slim-profile mini-boot and internal clips specifically calibrated to grip 0.9mm tight-buffered fiber without crushing the delicate glass cladding.
-
High-Impact Outer Shell: Manufactured from UL 94V-0 rated flame-retardant polymer, providing a durable and safe exterior for dense patch panel installations.

💡 Professional FAQ
Q: Why use a Zinc Alloy Stop for a 0.9mm pigtail instead of All-Plastic?
A: While 0.9mm fibers are lightweight, they are often used in environments where temperature fluctuations can cause plastic components to expand or contract. The Zinc Alloy Stop provides a thermally stable and rigid bulkhead that ensures the optical contact remains constant, preventing signal “jitter” or loss.
Q: Is this connector suitable for high-density 144-core ODFs?
A: Yes. The 0.9mm boot design is specifically engineered to minimize “cable clutter” in dense frames. The added metal stop ensures that even in a crowded tray where fibers might be slightly pulled or moved, the internal connection remains secure.
Q: Does the metal stop add significant weight to the connector?
A: No. The Zinc Alloy stop is a micro-component integrated inside the housing. It provides a massive increase in structural strength with a negligible impact on the overall weight, maintaining the lightweight benefits of 0.9mm cabling.
Q: What is the benefit of Zinc Alloy over Brass or Aluminum?
A: Zinc Alloy offers an excellent balance of precision casting (allowing for tighter tolerances inside the connector) and corrosion resistance, making it more cost-effective than brass while being more durable than standard aluminum components.
