  • Abstract
    An enhanced MT-RJ type connector was constructed employing a compact two-fiber ferrule in a newly designed housing for high-density optical duplex connection. The ferrule and the connector housing is designed to achieve physical contact (PC). As a result, the connectors we fabricated perform very well and provide ease of operation by means of direct core endface contact between the plugs. This connector is highly effective for use in the duplex connection of advanced optical networks.
