High-Power Connectors
A high-power connector cable compatible with kW class is realized without advanced
adhesive using different diameter welding technology, glass welding technology
and clad mode strip technology.
We are preparing a lineup of four types of advanced forms according to the output level range.

F-SMA connector
(TYPE1, TYPE2, ECF type)
(TYPE1, TYPE2, ECF type)
For those with relatively low output levels, we propose air gap ferrule (Type1)
and a tip glass jacket structure (TYPE2) that can flexibly handle different fiber diameters by using
glass welding technology.
Both structures have no advanced adhesive, so they have high
heat resistance and high reliability.
If higher power resistance is required, we recommend ECF Type (with end cap) that lowers
the energy density at the entrance and exit ends of the optical fiber.
kW-class connector
For specifications that require a high output level, such as for machining, it is necessary
to use a QBH connector.
The QBH connector comes standard with a mode strip function, water cooling design, and temperature detection function.
