We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Optical connectors",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Automotive networks standards receive overhaul from
MOST Cooperation, which we summarised at the time by saying "Most specifications have continuously been amended and extended in order to narrow the possibility for different interpretations by implementers".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Optical products offer copper alternative from
Finisar Corp: "The Longwave fibre channel SFP+ 1310nm transceivers support 1.4km and 10km transmission over single-mode fibre".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Molex UK
concerning its 1-by-3 Circular MT connector and adapter
- take a look at Connector provides robust link
which says: "The 1-by-3 Circular MT connector and adapter offer a more robust MT ferrule-based interface than traditional ribbon-based optical connectors".
Take a look also at the news release from Fujikura Europe, LC optical connectors improve port density,
as well as Small form factor connectors don full-metal jacket from Molex UK,
and Optical tester adds powerful option from Yokogawa Europe - Test and Measurement.
