MOST Automotive Fiber Optic Connector Type 2
The MOST is a JINSHANG TECH MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) automotive fiber-optic connector/module for plastic optical fiber infotainment rings in vehicles.
Because the optical path is non-conductive, the MOST provides electrical isolation between connected equipment and can be routed past motors, drives and power wiring without picking up noise.
Key Characteristics
- Operating temperature range: -55°C~+85°C
- Connector/interface: MOST CONNECTOR
- Certified to ISO9001/ROHS
- Housing/jacket color: Black
- Attenuation rated at less than 180 dB/km over the operating wavelength
- Precision-aligned POF interface for low-loss automotive optical links
- Vehicle-qualified housing resistant to vibration and temperature cycling
- Positive latch that holds the fiber seated across the MOST ring
Typical Applications
The MOST is commonly used for MOST infotainment rings in passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a MOST connector? A: A MOST connector terminates the plastic optical fibers of a vehicle's MOST multimedia ring, aligning the large-core POF between infotainment devices with low loss.
Q: What is a loop/bypass connector for? A: When a MOST node (such as a head unit or amplifier) is removed, a loop/bypass connector closes the optical path so the rest of the ring keeps operating for diagnosis.
Q: Which vehicles use it? A: MOST optical rings appear across many European and Asian infotainment platforms; match the part number and pinning to the vehicle and node.
Q: Is it plastic or glass fiber? A: MOST25 and MOST150 optical rings use 1 mm plastic optical fiber (POF), so these connectors are designed for large-core POF alignment.
