Abstract
Fiber optic solderable bulkhead fitting has a plated-on built-up metal body of a material which minimizes local stresses thereby minimizing microbending losses in the optical fiber. The body is sealed by solder within an opening in a bulkhead to provide a sealed passthrough for the optical fiber. In another embodiment, two optical fibers have plated-on built-up bodies thereon which serve to align the optical fibers in a connector. The connector is then sealed in a bulkhead as was done in the first embodiment.
