GAO’s connectors have the following functions:

  • Fiber Alignment: GAOTek’s fiber optic connectors ensure precise alignment between optical fibers. They hold the fibers in place and maintain their position to ensure accurate alignment of the fiber cores. Proper alignment is crucial for efficient light transmission and minimizing signal loss.
  • Signal Transmission: Our fiber optic connectors provide a means to connect optical fibers together, allowing optical signals to pass from one fiber to another. They maintain the continuity of the fiber path, ensuring the uninterrupted transmission of data, voice, or video signals.
  • Mechanical Strength and Protection: Our fiber optic connectors provide mechanical strength and protection to fragile optical fibers. They help prevent fiber bending, stress, or breakage during installation, handling, and mating. Connectors also shield the fiber ends from environmental elements, such as dust, dirt, and moisture, which could degrade signal quality.
  • Ease of Installation: Our fiber optic connectors are designed to be easy to install and remove. They typically feature user-friendly coupling mechanisms, such as push-pull, twist-lock, or snap-in, which allow for quick and secure connections.
