Transmit at the Speed of Light. Literally.
Hollow Core Fiber (HCF) Connectors — The critical bridge between air-core transmission and standard single-mode infrastructure. Overcome extreme mode field mismatches to unlock ultra-low latency, minimized non-linear effects, and exceptional power handling capabilities.
Ultra-Low Latency
Hermetically Sealed
≤0.6dB IL
Main Features
Faster Than Solid Glass
By utilizing air as the transmission medium, light travels nearly 50% faster than in traditional silica fibers. This connector enables seamless integration of hollow core fiber into existing networks, shaving crucial microseconds off data transmission times where every fraction of a second counts.
Bridging the Gap
The core challenge of HCF deployment is coupling it to standard single-mode fiber (SMF). Our connectors overcome the massive mode field diameter differences, delivering a highly reliable optical transition with a low insertion loss of ≤0.6dB, ensuring signal strength is maintained.
Contamination-Free Cores
The delicate internal microstructures of hollow core fibers are vulnerable to environmental contamination. Our assemblies utilize specialized hermetic packaging (available in steel tube, metal box, or integrated formats) to completely seal the hollow core, guaranteeing long-term stability regardless of the external environment.
Power Without Distortion
Light traveling through air practically eliminates non-linear optical effects and significantly raises the damage threshold. These connectors are built to reliably handle high-power optical signals without the degradation or structural breakdown seen in solid glass fibers.

Deployment Scenarios
The Ultimate Financial Advantage
In algorithmic trading, milliseconds dictate market dominance. Deploy HCF connectors in financial data centers and point-to-point microwave tower links to achieve the absolute lowest latency physically possible, seamlessly interfacing cutting-edge air-core fibers with standard routing equipment.
Unrestricted Energy Delivery
Traditional solid-core fibers can melt or distort under high-energy laser pulses due to non-linear effects and low damage thresholds. HCF connectors safely route intense laser power for precision manufacturing, medical applications, and advanced optical sensing without signal degradation.
Next-Gen Network Backbones
As 5G/6G networks and hyperscale cloud infrastructure demand lower latency and higher bandwidth, hollow core technology is the next frontier. These connectors provide the essential, reliable transition points needed to build out the next generation of time-critical optical networks.
