fanout 多芯光纤扇入扇出

The multicore fiber fan out (MCFFO) is designed to break out

each core of a multicore fiber (MCF) to enable each core to be

addressed independently through standard single-mode (SM)

pigtails.

多芯光纤扇出(MCFFO)这款产品目的是为了解决多芯光纤(MCF)中的每个纤芯和

普通单模单芯尾纤的对应连接问题。让多芯光纤的每个纤芯通过扇入/扇出连接器

分别和不同的单模单芯尾纤实现一一对应连接。

This allows rapid and simplistic integration of MCF into new
product developments and R&D projects which require
the high bandwidth, small core-to-core pitch and reduced
package size of a MCF.

这允许将多芯光纤(MCF)快速和简单地集成到哪些需要高带宽、小的芯间间距和缩小的

封装尺寸的新产品开发、研究和设计项目中。

Single Fan Out Unit – Bare Fiber

For retro-reflective sensing, free space and spliced in MCF applications, a single fan out unit is typically required with SM fiber on one end and the MCF on the other. Typical applications for these devices includes: 3D shape sensing, endoscopy, microscopy and data center type transmission experiments.

Single Fan Out Unit – Jacketed and Connectorized

Jacketing provides better protection for the fiber, especially in an environment where the fibers will be handled regularly, this is typically applied when connectors are required, however, it is not a necessity. Jacketing up to 2m in length is offered as a standard option, longer lengths are possible upon request. Each single core channel is individually color coded for easy recognition. Due to the diameter of the jacketing (or furcation tubing), anintermediate mechanical breakout box is required. We offer a 1.6mm jacketing between the fan out and the break out box and 900μm colour-coded jacketing between the breakout box and the end of the fiber. Jacketing is sometimes called by the material trade name Hytrel® (Dupont).

Double/Paired Fan Out

For applications that wish to use the MCF primarily as a transmission medium, for example telecoms data transmission, a double or paired fan out unit is required. This includes two fan out units (one to act as a fan in and the other as a fan out) with SM fiber tails at each end. This allows full use of the MCF without requiring specialty splicing of the MCF. All of the configurations for a single fan out unit are available for a double fan out unit.
