Abstract
Fiber optic assemblies including at least one multimode optical fiber that have improved performance are disclosed. In one embodiment, at least one connector is mounted upon and end of at least one multimode optical fiber and the assembly has an insertion loss of about 0.04 dB or less at a reference wavelength of 850 nanometers. Another embodiment is directed to a fiber optic assembly having a plurality of multimode optical fibers attached to a multifiber ferrule. The multifiber ferrule has a pair of guide pin bores having a nominal diameter, wherein the guide pin bores have a tolerance of ±0.0005 millimeters from a nominal diameter for improving performance.
Claims35
A multimode fiber optic assembly, comprising:
- at least one multimode optical fiber comprising a core region and a cladding region surrounding the core region;
- and
- at least one connector mounted upon an end of the at least one multimode optical fiber, wherein the assembly has an insertion loss of about 0.04 dB or less at a reference wavelength of 850 nanometers.
A multimode jumper assembly, the assembly comprising:
- at least one multimode optical fiber having a first end and a second end;
- a protective covering surrounding at least a portion of the at least one bend performance optical fiber;
- a first connector and a second connector respectively mounted upon the first end and second end of the multimode optical fiber, wherein the assembly has an insertion loss of about 0.04 dB or less at a reference wavelength of 850 nanometers.
A fiber optic assembly, the assembly comprising:
- a plurality of multimode optical fibers having a first end and a second end;
- and
- a multifiber ferrule attached to the plurality of multimode optical fibers, wherein the multifiber ferrule has a pair of guide pin bores having a nominal diameter, wherein the guide pin bores have a tolerance of ±0.0005 millimeters from a nominal diameter.
