In recent years, with the continuous expansion of optical communication applications, in particular to adapt the fiber access network and fiber to the home (FTTH) needs, competing countries developed a variety of models and specifications of the new fiber optic connectors, in the performance of these products and lowering the cost of significantly improved. Fiber optic connectors, fiber optic and optoelectronic devices such as optical fiber technology has been considerable development. Physical size and shape of the optical fiber connector has been changed product developers and end-users are concerned. The optical fiber connector as optical interconnects product family's core components, optical fiber communication system is indispensable to use the maximum amount of continuation of passive devices is to achieve fast and reliable communication between the optical fiber and optical fiber, optical fiber and instrumentation, off a kinds of connecting means.

  With the development of fiber-optic telecommunications industry in the past decade, fiber optic connectors are also made significant progress. Since many LAN applications only require the use of two fibers, so in most cases requires the use of two-core fiber optic connectors.

  Duplex fiber size of the connector is always better than the size of the RJ45 jack for unshielded twisted pair wiring system is much greater, taking into account the density of the connector on the patch panel, unshielded twisted pair cabling system will be more appeal. The workstation information outlet, duplex fiber optic connector space there are also serious problems - a hole in the American standard installation box, it is difficult to design can support two or more core fiber connector panels and modules.

  The current price is lower than the previous fiber optic products, manufacturers believe that the future has little room to cut prices. The Taiwanese government also support local laboratory studies ceramic ferrule, in hopes of significantly reducing production costs. Now single-mode fiber optic connectors are particularly welcomed by the market, some of the optical fiber connector manufacturers expect demand for plating without plastic optical fiber connector is also growing.
