Harsh Environment Cable Assemblies
Harsh Environment Connectors Overview

 

This legacy hermaphroditic fibre optic lens connector facilitates the inter-connection of multiple identical fibre optic cable assemblies known as daisy chaining, thus eliminating the need for polarising the assemblies and the use of in-line adapters. Lens technology is less vulnerable to mud, dirt and other contaminants than the traditional physical contact technology. This allows rapid and reliable deployment of assemblies in extreme environments. The connector is available in 1 to 4 way configurations for multi-mode fibres at both 850nm and 1300nm applications and is inter-mateable and interchangeable with other manufacturers equivalent products.

The standard connector components are aluminium with a long life hard black anodise finish with the coupling ring featuring a protective “rubber” overmould. The connector construction allows for both first line field repairs and return to base overhauls of both the connector and the lens assembly.
