optican

Optican refers to a type of optical fiber connector. It is a proprietary connector system developed by Corning Inc. that is designed for high-density fiber optic applications. The Optican connector is characterized by its small form factor, allowing for a greater number of fiber connections within a limited space.

This connector system utilizes a push-pull coupling mechanism, which facilitates quick and easy mating and un-mating of fiber optic cables. This design is particularly beneficial in data centers and telecommunications environments where frequent connections and disconnections are common. Optican connectors are often used in conjunction with specific types of fiber optic cables and equipment.

The Optican connector is known for its robustness and reliability, offering good performance in terms of signal integrity and low insertion loss. Its compact nature contributes to improved cable management and overall system density, making it a popular choice for demanding network infrastructure.
