More Information
Summary:A communications coupling for a low bandwidth fiber optic cable and a high bandwidth fiber optic cable, includes: a guiding ferrule adapted for coupling to a surrogate fiber optic cable comprised of one of the low bandwidth fiber optic cable and the high bandwidth fiber optic cable, the guiding ferrule including at least one mounting feature for aligning the guiding ferrule with an optical axis of the surrogate cable; the guiding ferrule further including at least one guiding feature for aligning the optical axis of the surrogate fiber optic cable with an optical axis of a connecting fiber optic cable, the connecting fiber optic cable comprised of the other one of the low bandwidth fiber optic cable and the high bandwidth fiber optic cable. A method and a communications infrastructure are provided.
