Fiber Optic Expanded Beam Connectors

Fiber Optic Expanded Beam Connectors

These Expanded Beam Tactical Fiber Optic cable sets are for HARSH military applications, esp. for quick field deployment & retrieval due to reduced size/weight.

Expanded Beam connectors are far more rugged for field applications and pose no cleaning problems as compared to physical contact connectors like MIL38999 or TFOCAII. Based on MIL-C-85045 conformant tactical cable which is extremely strong, lightweight, & rugged. Available in deployable reels.

Expanded beam advantages:

• Hermaphroditic Genderless mating
• Easy to clean in the field.
• Easy to align (repeatable performance)
• Non contact design – highly resistant to dirt as fiber is inside ball lenses
• Vibration resistant

 
Harsh Environment Applications:

• Radars, Military Systems, Ground Control Systems, Launchers etc.
• Excellent for deployment/retrieval applications like tactical communications.
• Designed for extreme environmental conditions – temperature, humidity, ice, fungus and fluid immersion.
• Rugged fiber optic cable with high tensile load for high survivability in severe crush, impact, vehicle runover, deployment and retrieval conditions.
• Extremely strong, lightweight, rugged, survivable cable design for military use.
• Polyurethane jacketed for abrasion, cut and chemical resistance.
