1. HPSMA905 connector holds stainless steel ferrule that can be held in a standard optical
positioner.

2. The silica fibers have numerical apertures of 0.22~037.

3. This significantly reduces fibre breakdown, usually the result of beam misalignment in which
the laser energy is focused outside the fibre core on portions of the connector that could easily burn, causing fibre damage.

4. An option for the fiber tip cantilevered within an SMA905 connector ferrule, which is bored
to remove epoxy and other material from the fiber perimeter, reducing fiber breakdown. It bringing a heat sink to the rear of the connector, which conducts extraneous heat away from the fibre, further reducing the possibility of breakdown.
