Abstract

A new phenomenon of random variation effect on the fiber height in optical fiber connectors is researched. The mechanism of this effect is proposed and analyzed. Based on the theory, this effect is caused by epoxy adhesive that used in fiber connectors under extreme temperature. It is deduced that glass-transition temperature of epoxy adhesive contributes a critical role in this effect. And further investigation is applied to verify this theory. The result demonstrates that the fiber height in optical fiber connector’s contact will be significantly affected if working above the glass-transition temperature of used epoxy adhesive.
