Performance of Different Ceramic-V Grooves Under Climate Testing

Click：date of issue：2021-12-16

Test Purpose: Ceramic V-Groove field assembly connector is widely used in field fiber connection. Due to the profit driven, there are some cheaper copy type in the market. So how is the copy type perform? Will it meet the data requirements? We did two tests to distinguish how the Ceramic-V Groove copy type and CCTC type works under climate testing. Hope the tests we had this time will give you some information about these questions.

Sample Information:

Sample Name	Field Assembly Connector
Sample Mode	FAC-SC/APC&UPC-05
Sample Quantity	Test 1	Test 2
	COPY#1	COPY#2	CCTC
	4 APC, 4 UPC	2 APC, 2UPC	2 APC, 2UPC
Sample Condition	Good Appearance, good performance with room temperature

Test Information

Test Project	High and low temperature cycle test
Test Standard	-25℃-+75℃
Test Date	Test 1(COPY#1)	Test 2(COPY#2, CCTC)
Test Date	Dec 9^th, 2021	Dec 16^th, 2021
Test Period	24hrs	24hrs
Test Equipment	Programmable Constant Temperature And Humidity Test Chamber

Test Process: Connect products and put in the equipment. Turn on the equipment and set temperature. The test exposes connectors to the high temperature and low temperature of -25℃-+75℃. Routine 24 hours 4 high and low temperature cycles. The rate of heating and cooling is 1 degree Celsius per minute.

Test 1

Test 2

Test Result:

We conducted 2 tests, in total 48 hrs climate test for 16 connectors. Each cycle lasts 6 hrs. The data change of Copy#1 has exceeded the standard values. But data change of Copy 2# performs well. So we could say if the Ceramic-V Groove(Copy) can meet the standard requirements depends on if you can get a good supplier.
