At SENKO, we are continuously pushing the limits with our ferrule technology to achieve lower losses. When defining yournetwork budget needs, it is important to know what optical losses are required. While using the Single-mode Premium
ferrules will help achieve the lowest loss, it may not always be needed. For Connectors like the CS, SN or LC, the following
performance can be expected when choosing the right ferrule for your application.

Is the most expensive Premium Low Loss always better to use over the Premium? The simple answer is, no.
Reasons would include that the Premium Low Loss ferrules typically tighter ID, and if a low-grade fiber is used that has
more than typical variation of the cladding OD, it may be difficult to terminate due to potential tolerance overlap and fiber
stubbing. In most cases the Premium Low Loss ferrules are used in applications where the optical loss must be the lowest
possible. However, the ferrule choice should depend on the end applications optical power loss budget. The optical power
loss budget is the allowable amount of loss that a fiber link should have if it is installed properly without external factors
such as contamination. The power budget is the determined as the difference between the output power of the transmitterand the minimum input power of the receiver. An average Data Center that utilizes most of the Worlds Interconnect today
utilizes transceivers with -18 to -19dBm power output and the receivers with -23 to -24dBm sensitivity. This equates to a
dynamic range or data link power budget of about 4 to 6 dB. This means in the typical Data Center deployment the SENKO
Premium ferrules would be satisfactory as the average connector loss difference between the SENKO SM Premium Low Lossand SENKO SM Premium is less than 0.1dB which is insignificant for the given power budget.

The two most critical measurements to meet these losses are:•Ferrule hole diameter – For a minimum Insertion Loss, it is better to use the tightest-tolerance ferrule hole diameter
available. As an example, if the typical values for a single-mode fiber glass Outer Diameter (OD) are 124.5um to 124.9um
the desirable ferrule Inner Diameter (ID) should be 125.0um to 125.5um. Through multiple studies SENKO ensures•

Ferrule hole concentricity – The shape of the bore hole must be round and in the center of the ferrule. An oval
shape instead of perfectly round one will not hold an optical fiber in perfect centered alignment. Additionally,
the bore hole should be centered relative to the outside of the ferrule to achieve the best alignment
and performance. Ferrule hole concentricity is measured inside diameter to outside diameter (ID to OD).

Therefore, it’s important to use ferrules
considering the above tolerances for
optimum performance.
1.

Ferrule hole diameter2.

Ferrule hole concentricity

1) Ferrule hole diameter

The manufacturing process of ferrules is focused on making the highest quality ferrule possible with the best possible
specifications in terms of ferrule concentricity, and tolerances on the bore hole ID dimensions. However, due to difficulties
and complexities of the zirconia ceramic manufacturing process the manufacturers have a secondary operation whichis inspection and sorting of produced ferrules. At this stage, 100% of the ferrules are inspected and measured with thestate-of-the-art equipment and separated into their respective categories such as SM Premium Low Loss, SM Premium, andMultimode. Typically, the yields for the highest quality ferrules, or Premium Low Loss ferrules are lower when compared to
the rest and therefore they command a premium cost.

2) Concentricity or ovality

SENKO offers a range of ferrules including Premium Low Loss, Premium, and Standard connectors that offer varying loss
specifications. In most cases SENKO Premium grade ferrules achieve the desired results while keeping cost savings in mind.
We suggest contacting your SENKO representative if you have any additional questions.

SENKO’s MPO Plus MT 12 fiber ferrule are the most common used MT Ferrule in themarket which gives the best combination of easy-to-use and low insertion loss. The
SM Low Loss and MM Low Loss now guarantees the industry’s lowest insertion loss
of 0.25dB, with a typical of greater than 0.1dB, which exceeds the IEC 61755-3-31
Grade B Requirement. Quality, Price, durability and ease of assembly makes the 12

Step by Step

STANDARD POLARITY APPLICATIONKey UP to Key DOWN

1 - Connector insertion

When the connector is inserted into the adapter
it compress the springs, opening the internal
shutter.

FEATURES
Channel Path

• SENKO Patented Design• Compatible with all MPO connectors• Standard MPO Foot Print• Available in Black, Aqua, Heather Violet and Gray
• Flanged and Non-Flanged versions avaialble

2 - Shutter opening

The internal shutter opens, and due to thespecial design of the shutter, it will not touch
the ferrule end face.

3 - Connector mated with adapter

1) Insert security tool2) Remove adapter key insert

3) Rotate adapter insert 180°

The opening of the shutter allows for the ferrule to
be inserted inside the adapter sleeve.

4) Push adapter insert into housing

4 - Connector removal

As the connector is removed from the adapter,the shutter spring automatically returns theinternal shutter to the closed position.

FEATURES• SENKO Patented Design
BENEFITS• Compatible with MPO Plus Premium Mini, Standard, Bayonet and Micro• Unique twin door shutter closes to prevent any ingress of contamination

A

MPO connectors are highly sensitive to all formsof contamination - with such a large end-faceand so many fibers, it is very difficult to ensure
pristine condition over the entire surface areaof the ferrule. Secondly, the standard MPO
connector requires high spring force to achieve
physical contact for MT to MT ferrules. The
non-contact design of the AirMT™ reduces thesensitivity to contamination and allows for alower spring force for a repeatable Insertion
loss over multiple connections.

Loopback

The cause of numerous problems in opticalcommunication equipment is contamination of theend face of optical connectors. Senko has developed
optical fiber cleaners with fiber specifically for opticalconnectors to help create a reliable telecommunications
service. Senko’s optical connector cleaners eliminate
even the smallest contaminants that are visible only
through magnification.

Why is cleaning opticalconnectors so important?

MPO Ribbonizer

for MPO Connector

Contamination of the optical connector end face caneasily occur. The transmission quality will be affectedonce the contaminants adhere to the 10µm diameter
optical fiber core, and there is increased danger that thefiber end face will be damaged by any high powered
light. Cleaning the optical connector end face isextremely important before making a connection.
