ODU Fiber Optic Physical Contact solutions are cost-efficient optical connections for all standard data transmission requirements. We offer them as a ready-made complete system that includes our robust ODU connectors. The Physical Contact solution is characterized by a very low insertion loss, with which up to 1,000 mating cycles can be achieved.
The built-in contact system is available in multimode and singlemode versions. Within the ODU connector, the polish is 8° ground (APC) as standard to ensure the best possible return loss values. Due to the small fiber end face, it is particularly important that it is clean. To guarantee optimum optical transmission with high data rates, the connectors must be cleaned before each connection process.

ODU's PC technology enables cost-efficient optical connections for standard data rate requirements based on classic ceramic ferrules. It is offered as a pre-assembled complete system together with robust ODU connectors and is therefore more robust than conventional interface plugs.
The economical PC technology is characterized by very low insertion loss and high return loss, which enables efficient and reliable data rates.
It is suitable for applications that require a stable and low-loss data rate.
ODU PC systems are designed for up to 1,000 mating cycles and thus offer a long-lasting connection.
PC technology is available in both multimode and singlemode versions.
The insertion loss is ≤ 0.5 dB per contact side, which ensures efficient signal transmission.
The return loss is > 40 dB for singlemode and > 30 dB for multimode, which contributes to high signal quality.
An 8° polish (APC) is used as standard within the ODU connector to achieve optimum return loss values.
Due to the small fiber end face, it is particularly important to clean the connectors before each mating process to ensure optimum optical transmission with high data rates over 1,000 mating cycles.
Yes, the PC systems are available as pre-assembled complete systems, which makes installation easier.
