Dispensing adhesive for passive fiber optic components

One-part epoxy, with its controlled cure chemistry and predictable property development, is widely used in fiber optic component assembly precisely because it allows these demanding requirements to be met consistently. Fiber optic components require adhesive at several critical. In addition to the strong, reliable, and durable bonds they provide, protection of optical fibers, connectors, and components are just as critical in fiber optics. Optically clear, high-tensile-strength bonds of 3,000 psi and shrinkage as low as 0. The bond line is in the optical path — or immediately adjacent to it — which means any change in the adhesive's optical, mechanical, or dimensional properties directly aff...
