SACRIFICIAL CONNECTORS

The sacrificial connector is used to protect the optical port of fiber optic test equipment and instruments.
The sacrificial connector ensures that repeated mating’s have no detrimental effect on the optical port
(bulkhead) which can lead to reflectivity and insertion loss issues.

A damaged bulkhead is expensive to repair and will take the instrument out of commission. A sacrificial
connector, on the other hand, can be replaced when worn or damaged and a new sacrificial connector
installed. With near 0dB loss through this connector, there is no impact on the test results.

FEATURES

• Prevents damage to instrument and equipment bulkheads
• Low insertion loss
• Low reflectance
• GR326 / IEC61300-2 compliant
