Fiber optic harnesses appear simple, but they have been designed to maintain all of the critical areas of aligning two fibers and minimize the losses associated with a break in the transmission path. In order to understand how the connectors overcome alignment issues, we must first understand the issues. Fiber optic communications networks use specific wavelengths of light (or colors) to transmit information through a clear fiber at high speed. They use the property of internal reflection along the fiber’s axis to contain the light and keep the optical power high enough to be detected at the receiving end.

Adoption and integration of USB-C chargers and hubs in automotive applications is driving a need for an updated approach to production tests due to USB-C's connector density, high bandwidth, and high power. We introduce a new paradigm in test-system development, micro-FCT (micro Functional Test), and demonstrate developing and deploying of an end-of-line (EOL) functional test-system which meets the strict automotive test requirements for a USB-C hub. Specification to deployment of the test-system was completed in less than 10-weeks, and test cycle time was 1/10th of the customer's requirements
