| Abstract(in English) | Optical connectors are currently used in both indoor environments such as buildings and in outdoor equipment such as aerial closures. The current commercially available optical connectors employ a physical contact (PC) connection technology, which realizes full-face contact between two mated fiber cores. To confirm the durability of optical connectors employing PC connection in actual outdoor environments, since 1997 we have been performing a reliability test on SC connectors with a PC connection and installed in Miyako Island in Okinawa Prefecture, which is a high temperature and high humidity location. Here, we report the changes in the ferrule end dimensions and optical performance of an SC connector exposed outdoors for 20 years. |
