Customer Needs: Flange Optimization for Fiber Optic Adapters & Connectors – Split to Integrated Cost Reduction
2026-03-18
In the optical communication field, cost control and product stability are the core demands of domestic customers when selecting accessories for Fiber Optic Adapters and Fiber Optic Connectors.
Through in-depth communication with customers, we have identified their pain points in using split-type flanges: high procurement costs caused by multiple components, complex installation, low efficiency, and potential stability hazards due to assembly gaps. To address this, we have launched a targeted optimization solution: converting split-type flanges to integrated flanges, which not only meets technical performance requirements but also significantly reduces customers' comprehensive costs.
I. Core Function of Flanges and Pain Points of Split-Type Flanges
As a key component of Fiber Optic Adapters and Fiber Optic Connectors, flanges are responsible for fixing and positioning components to ensure the accuracy of signal transmission.
Traditional split-type flanges consist of multiple components such as the main body, screws, and gaskets. Customers need to purchase and assemble them separately, which not only increases costs and labor input but also may reduce positioning accuracy due to assembly gaps, affecting the docking effect of Fiber Optic Adapters and Fiber Optic Connectors, and easily leading to excessive signal loss in harsh environments.
II. Core Measures for Integrated Flange Optimization
Based on customer needs, our R&D team has optimized the flange structure of Fiber Optic Adapters and Fiber Optic Connectors, with the core being the conversion to an integrated design. The specific measures are as follows:
1. Mold Integration: Integrate split components into a single mold, and adopt one-time precision stamping and injection molding to eliminate the assembly process;
2. Material Optimization: Reduce material usage and production costs while ensuring structural strength;
3. Positioning Upgrade: Add a guide positioning design to quickly match Fiber Optic Adapters and Fiber Optic Connectors of models such as FC, SC, LC, and MPO.

III. Core Advantages of the Optimization Solution
The optimization of converting split-type to integrated flanges brings significant dual advantages of cost reduction and efficiency improvement to customers, while ensuring product performance:
1. Significant Cost Reduction: Integrated flanges reduce the number of components by more than 60%, and the comprehensive procurement and assembly costs are reduced by 15%-25%;
2. Efficiency Improvement: No assembly is required, the installation time is halved, and the project construction efficiency is greatly improved;
3. More Stable Performance: The gap-free design improves positioning accuracy by 30%, controls insertion loss within 0.2dB, and effectively enhances the stability and service life of Fiber Optic Adapters and Fiber Optic Connectors.
IV. Customer Application Cases
This optimization solution has been successfully applied to the supporting production of Fiber Optic Adapters and Fiber Optic Connectors for customers, gaining wide recognition:
A communication equipment manufacturer in East China: After adopting integrated flanges, the procurement and installation costs of a single batch of products were reduced by 20%, the project construction cycle was shortened by 15 days, and the demand for after-sales maintenance was significantly reduced;
A data center operator in South China: The integrated flanges perfectly meet the high-density deployment needs of data centers, saving 30% of installation space. We also provide 24/7 localized technical support and fast delivery services, and have established long-term and stable cooperation.
