Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber communication, in particular to an SL-type integrated four-core optical fiber movable connector.
Background
The optical fiber connector is an optical passive device with the largest use amount in an optical system, is widely applied to communication, Local Area Network (LAN), Fiber To The Home (FTTH), high-quality video transmission, optical fiber sensing, instrument and meter testing and the like,
the main optical fiber connectors currently used in communication equipment rooms mainly include SC and LC optical fiber connectors. The SC panel interface size is 9.30 × 12.80mm with only one fiber channel. The interface size of the LC double-core panel is 9.30 x 12.80mm (same as the SC single-core panel), two optical fiber channels are provided, and the density is doubled compared with the SC.
With the rapid advance of 5G construction and the high integration of telecom, broadcast television and network, the construction data connection of the smart city advances from 100G to 400G and 800G. More and higher requirements are put forward on the optical fiber connectors, and when the size of the interface of the panel of the communication cabinet is in a fixed specification, the optical fiber connection density of the two optical fiber connectors cannot meet the actual communication requirement.
