Application notes
Fiber optic connectors for backplane also require the pre-mating of all involved components, to prevent lateral
forces, while mated.
For repeatable and secure pre-mating and mating procedures, the
F-3000
BACKPLANE
has a high adaptation
degree of the connectors on the PC Board to the backplane mating adapter.
The system is designed to recover lateral misalignment up to
±
0.5 mm.

Fiber Optic Components
The
F-3000
BACKPLANE
combines the advantages of the
F-3000
SYSTEM
with an optimal guiding mechanism for secure backplane connection. When
mated, the PCB connector is retained in the mating adapter eliminating all
stress on the PC Board.
It uses the standard components of the
F-3000
single fiber version which are
joined by a simple clip-bridge that includes a radial, angular and longitudinal
compensation. Clip bridges are available for 2 and 4 connectors. The
adapters can be easily mounted into the distribution panel.
The
F-3000
BACKPLANE
is available in multimode, single mode, convex
polished (PC) and 8
°
angle polished (APC) versions.
The F-3000
BACKPLANE
covers all needs within the forseen
field of applications and offers:
Active push pull retention
Sufficiently long pre-mating tracks for repeatable mating and high
stability
Injection moulded housing (UL 94 V0 flammability rating)
Positive latching mechanism with step process to prevent from stress
the backplane and the PCB
Mating adapter with spring loaded metal shutters
Connectors with integrated protective caps
