Optical fiber system - The importance of dust caps

  • July 10. 2018
In optical fiber system, besides optical transmission equipment and optical devices, optical fiber consumables are also an indispensable part.

And the dust cap belongs to optical fiber consumable material, it is applied almost every corner of fiber system, Plays role of protecting fiber and fiber end face. So its role can not be underestimated. Then what does a dust cap do? How does it affect the optical fiber system? Following us, we will show you the true face of the dust cap.


What does the dust cap do?
Dust cap play an important role in the optical fiber system, it can protect the fiber optic connector, fiber optic adapter, optical interface of optical module and other the port of equipment are not polluted by the external environment and damaged by the external force, Prevents severe network deceleration or network failure.

Several common dust caps
Fiber optic adapter, fiber optic connector and optical module is the common use of the fiber optic system need to use the dust cap products, the product dust cap respectively called adapter dust cap,connector dust cap and Optical module dust plug.
Adapter Dust Caps - protects optical fiber adapters and couplers
SC Adapter dust cap

Connector Dust Caps - protect patch cord connector or Sleeves of connector

SC connector dust cap

Optical module Dust Caps - also known as a port dust cap, is commonly used in unused optical module optical interfaces

SFP optical module dust plug

What is the impact of the dust cap on the optical fiber system?
Dust cap is a necessary accessories of optical fiber connector, fiber optic adapter and unused optical transceiver, its role in the optical fiber connector, fiber optic adapter and optical module for storage and transportation process obviously, the optical devices can be avoided by mechanical damage.

When the optical device is in a state of non-use, dust cap also has dust-resistant to some extent.


Dust cap has a very important position in fiber optic system. It is a good solution to prevent the mechanical damage of optical devices, and it can also avoid the external dust and other pollutants directly into the optical device interface.However, it is not 100% optical protective umbrella, in some cases, dust cap may be a source of pollution. Properly inspecting and cleaning the end surface of the optical device is a magic weapon to guarantee the performance and life of the optical fiber system.
