Fiber Optic Accessories
Fiber optic accessories are specially designed products that support the connectivity, termination, and maintenance of fiber optic cable systems. Common to these accessories are fiber optic connectors, patch panels, and strain relief solutions. These products are available in several styles, accommodating the various types of cables in existence.
Termination points for fiber cables must be secure and reliable. Fiber optic connectors fulfill this critical function. They are also very efficient, especially in the case of the high-speed connections that underpin our data infrastructure.
Patch panels serve as a link between many fiber cables, performing the necessary order and signs that permit the directing of light paths into and out of many kinds of interconnected equipment. Their primary job in networks is to organize cables by, for example, marking destinations for incoming paths of light and outgoing paths of light. Is there a point? Oh, yeah; patch panels make fiber networks and light paths work well together in confined areas like the nation's thousands of data centers.
Protecting the delicate fibers of a fiber optic installation from being damaged due to bending, pulling, or twisting is the fundamental purpose of strain relief hardware—the collection of accessories specifically made for that task. Because strain relief is so crucial to system performance, the components used must match that performance.
