With the increasing use of fiber optic connections, many optical device manufacturers are also seeing a demand in this market. When our customers purchase fiber optic connectors, by comparing the prices of fiber optic connectors from different manufacturers, they will find that the price difference of the same model of fiber optic connector is very significant. Many customers are puzzled about this issue. Now, in response to this issue, we would like to introduce to our customers why there is such a significant price difference in the same model of fiber optic connectors.
The price difference between fiber optic connectors of the same model is mainly due to the different quality and procurement channels of fiber optic connectors.
The quality difference of fiber optic connectors is mainly reflected in the material and performance of the product. The prices of fiber optic connectors made of different materials vary greatly. The prices of fiber optic connectors made of copper alloy and zinc alloy materials differ by one-third, while the differences between zinc alloy materials and plastic materials vary by a few cents. The performance of fiber optic connectors has a significant impact on the field of use, and the performance of fiber optic connectors of the same model also varies. For example, the parameters of SC fiber optic connectors are between 0.00db and 0.5db, while the larger parameters are 0.5db.
And some customers often consider the performance of fiber optic connectors when choosing them, because some manufacturers use plastic fiber optic connectors to save costs. Such fiber optic connectors can only be made into fiber optic jumpers, and once they are used for a long time, they can cause great hidden dangers, such as breakage, deformation, etc.
The reason why the price of the same model of fiber optic connector varies so much is also because the procurement channels of different suppliers are different. Nowadays, many customers directly contact the manufacturer because this can eliminate the intermediate distribution process and directly transfer profits to customers. And some customers purchase from distributors, which is also one reason for the significant difference in the same model of fiber optic connectors.
