DART Bare Fiber Adapter
DART™ opens new worlds for traditional bare fiber holding. In addition to temporarily securing a fiber at a fixed position, an integrated roller mechanism moves the fiber in and out of the adapter. This allows for variable protrusion and retraction of the fiber endface relative to DART™’s precision support ferrule.
The universal 2.5mm ferrule interfaces with a variety of equipment and components such as polishers, electro-optic packages, test equipment and more. DART™ can be configured for fiber diameters ranging from 80um to >1mm using interchangeable ferrule tips.
