Fiber Optic Connector Backshell

Fiber Optic Connector Backshells are components used in fiber optic interconnectors. They are part of the supply class Fiber Optic Interconnectors, which belongs to the supply group Fiber Optics Materials, Components, Assemblies, and Accessories.

The backshell is a protective covering that is typically attached to the rear end of a fiber optic connector. It provides strain relief and protects the connector from damage, such as bending or pulling on the fiber optic cable. The backshell is designed to secure the connector in place and prevent any stress on the delicate fiber optic components.

Fiber Optic Connector Backshells come in various designs and materials, including metal or plastic. They are often used in applications where the fiber optic connectors need to be rugged and durable, such as in military, aerospace, or industrial environments.

Overall, Fiber Optic Connector Backshells play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and longevity of fiber optic interconnectors by providing protection and strain relief to the connectors.
