Fiber Optic Connector Housings

Fiber optic connector housings are the outer shells or enclosures that are used to protect and hold the contacts and other components of a fiber optic connector. These housings are typically made of a durable material, such as metal or plastic, and they are designed to provide mechanical support and protection for the connector. Fiber optic connectors are a type of electrical connector that are used to connect optical fibers. They are called "fiber optic" connectors because they are designed to transmit light signals, rather than electrical signals, along the optical fibers. Fiber optic connectors are available in a variety of sizes and styles, each of which is designed for a specific type of fiber optic cable or application. Fiber optic connector housings are typically divided into two main parts: the shell and the insert. The shell is the outer part of the housing, and it provides the main mechanical support and protection for the connector. The insert is the inner part of the housing, and it holds the contacts and other components of the connector. Fiber optic connector housings are available in different sizes and styles, to accommodate different connector designs and applications.
