FIBER OPTIC CABLE WITH HIGH INTERFACE MISMATCH TOLERANCE

摘要

A fiber optic cable is provided with a cable section including at least one length of fiber optic line having a first end and a second end. A first and second plug each have a mechanical body shaped to selectively engage and disengage a jack housing. Each plug has a microlens with a planar surface to engage the fiber optic line end and a convex surface to transceive light in a first collimated beam, with a jack optical interface. The fiber optic cable ends are formed in a focal plane of a corresponding plug microlens.
