Compact and self-retentive multi-ferrule optical backpanel connector

A compact optical backpanel connector called a compact and self-retentive multi-ferrule optical backpanel connector or an MU optical backpanel connector has been developed Eight plugs/jacks can be installed within the MU backpanel connector which is 42 mm high and 13 mm wide. A novel self-retentive mechanism, 1.25-mm diameter ferrules and advanced PC (APC) technology are used to realize a high performance connector with a low insertion loss of 0.1 dB and a high return loss of 50.3 dB.<
