How to reverse the polarity of LC uniboot connector?

As we all know, the normal cabling uses a single fiber connector to maintain the polarity requirement. “B” sends the signal while “A” receives the signal. However, there are two types of duplex patch cord to complete serial duplex connection, “A-to-B” or “A-to-A”, which is depending on the polarity method.

Traditional LC optical fiber patch cord has great limitations in realizing polarity conversion. It requires not only auxiliary tools, but also special attention to the direction of polarity conversion, which is easily caused in failed termination.

The lc uniboot connector option includes an easy polarity revisable feature that provides quick and easy polarity changes in the field. Innovatively set the two plugs of the fiber optic connector to be interchangeable. Easily strip the boot and reverse the polarity. To reverse polarity, you just need three steps.

Step 1
Strip the boot and the outer housing

Firstly, use the right hand to hold the front housing of the connector. The hand can not touch the end face of the ferrule. Then pull out the tail sleeve of the connector with left hand. The left thumb and the middle finger pinch the outer frame,and the index finger nails hold the outer frame shrapnel.

Step 2
Revise the polarity

When the shrapnel opens out, hold the frame front cover with your right hand and pull it forward, and then revise the AB polarity.

Step 3
Relocate the boot and the outer housing

After the revise the polarity, relocate the outer frame and boot in order from the back.

The LC uniboot fiber optic connector eliminate the need for tools when making the polarity change. No tools are needed during the whole process.

A LC uniboot fiber connector with push-pull tab makes it much easier to release the connector. With this design, the technician is able to finish the installing and removing procedures with only one hand and no additional tool are needed. It is ideal for ultra high density cabling.

HYC’s LC Uniboot connectors offer the best solution for high-density applications, Data centers, Private Networks and premise installations.

LC Optical Adapter with Inner Shutter

With increasingly high-powered active devices being used in optical network transmission, it becomes more and more important to effectively prevent eyes from being damaged by potentially harmful beams. In order to meet this requirement, two kinds of fiber adapters have been designed. Fiber optic adapters with external or internal shutters.

HYC LC fiber optic adapter with inner shutter which has shutter plates inside to proof the dust and the light. The inner shutter prevents accidental exposure of the beam and protects the eyes from potentially harmful light. At the same time, it can also play a role in dust prevention, to ensure the internal cleaning of the adapter, avoid the impact of ferrule tip.

The internal shutters are fully automatic. No matter which angle the connector is inserted, the end face of the ferrule will not touch the shutter plate. So that the ferrule will not be soiled or damaged, and the precise connection of the end face is ensured.

Minimize eye exposure to lasers while providing continuous coupler protection from dust and contaminants with these internal shutter adapters.

HYC Co., Ltd at OFC2019

Local time March 5 to 7, 2019, OFC opened in San Diego Convention and Exhibition Center, California, USA. OFC is recognized as an international event with the highest specifications, the largest scale, the longest history, the strongest professionalism and the greatest influence in the field of optical communication. HYC and its new products were on display and suddenly became a highlight on the show.

Right before the exhibition, we have made advertising for those main products being shown. Two splendid posters of the 2U Data Center Solutions and a patented LC Uniboot/MPO Connector appeared on the main passage of the hall.

With the elaborate layout, innovative products and enthusiastic atmosphere, there was a wonderful prelude opening for the next 3 days. We have received optical industry partners and potential customers from North America and even all over the world, demonstrated the characteristics and selling points of our products, and patiently answered customers’ questions about the products.

It was noteworthy that our products did catch the eyesight of most attendees. Different from the traditional clip-on design, our push-pull LC/MPO connector is definitely more compact and easier to release from the adapter while the half-surround tab end will avoid cables tangled together. As to the HD 2U Data Center Solutions, the lightweight aluminum material design, coming with 12pcs plastic independent cassettes for 2U 288C LC which can also be maximize to 24pcs cassettes for 4U 576C LC, dedicates it to larger capacity and smarter management simultaneously.

OFC attracted hundreds of exhibitors from all over the world. Over 1100 technical seminars were held at the same time. In addition to displaying abundant optical products and latest applications, HYC also actively participated in technical seminars to explore the latest market trends and technological directions of the industry. We spare no effort to create brilliant future of the optical communication industry.

PLC Fiber Optic Splitter In ABS Type

Optical splitter is one of the most important passive components in the optical fibre link. PLC Splitter, based on Planar Lightwave Circuit technology and precision aligning process, can divide single/dual optical inputs into multiple optical outputs uniformly and is denoted 1×N or 2×N. Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) splitter is a type of optical power management device to distribute optical signals from Central Office (CO) to multiple premise subscriber locations.

The ABS box is one of the packaging methods of the PLC splitter. In addition to the ABS box type, the PLC splitter is also classified into a rack type, a bare line type, a plug type, a tray type, and more. The ABS PLC splitter is the most commonly used splitter in PON networks and has the following features:

Compact design, flexible installation

ABS PLC splitter provides the complete protection for inner optical components and cable, as well as designed for the convenient and reliable installation. In addition to providing reliable protection, ABS Box PLC Optical Splitters can also be installed in a variety of wiring closets or enclosures. The input fiber and the output fiber are compact compact in a layer of optical waveguide made of quartz substrate, which can provide easier and more flexible wiring. It can be directly installed in various existing junction boxes without needing a lot of installation space.

Uniform distribution of optical signal

The most common split ratios are 1:N or 2:N. N represents the output ports, usually as 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.  HYC’s PLC splitter offers superior optical performance, high stability and high reliability, meet various application requirements in different environments. Every splitter is built to be GR-1209， GR-1221 compliant, ensuring high reliability.

Wide range of applications

It is very common to install an ABS box-type PLC optical splitter in a standard 19-inch rack unit. It can be installed in the cable transfer box in the FTTH process.

ABS PLC splitter is the most commonly used in PON network for its good protection of internal optical components and cables, simple design and reliable installation. With standalone structure, clearly fiber input and fiber out entrance, ABS PLC splitter can be used dircectly for splitting using. They’re ideal for many applications including FTTX Deployments, PON Networks, CATV Links, and Optical Signal Distribution.
