Diamond Harsh Environment Products
Tech Optics supplies and supports Diamond fibre optic components and assemblies
Diamond products incorporate active core alignment (ACA) to provide the ultimate in fibre optic performance.
Without doubt, connectors for field/outdoor use must withstand particular conditions in terms of adverse temperatures, shocks, vibrations, tensile stress, external pressure, corrosive surroundings, etc., which are beyond environmental conditions typically endured by standard commercial connectors and cable assemblies.
DIAMOND has responded to this growing demand by developing a wide range of strong, reliable, customizable indoor/outdoor field optical connectors and accessories product lines with superior optical performances and IP rating.
These products are designed for industrial sites for applications such as energy plants, coal mines, offshore oil platforms, cement factories, refineries etc. as well as for field-deployable communications, mobile diagnostic units, avionics and space, security systems, machine controls, industrial machine networks and much more.
DIAMOND technologies include
- Active Core Alignment (ACA)
- Polarisation Maintaining (PM)
- Power Solutions (PS) high optical power interface
- VIS / NIR Short Wavelength
- High Temperature Connectors
- Special Fibre Ferrules
- Custom Assembly Manufacture

PM+ connectors - Polarization Maintaining
The new DIAMOND PM+ product line was developed following customer demand for improved power extinction ration (PER), coupled with ultra-low insertion loss (IL). The PM+ product line is available with the DIAMOND E-2000™, DMI and Mini AVIM™ connectors. These connectors incorporate an orientation keying system that allows for a very high PER. Several configurations have been confirmed for wavelengths of 532nm and 1550nm. Other connectors showing larger orientation keying tolerance are still well served by our standard PM product line.
Polarization-maintaining optical fibers are used in specialty applications often found in fiber optic sensing, metrology and laser technology. They are also commonly used in telecommunications, when polarized light is required at the input. In addition, polarization maintaining is expanding rapidly into other markets, such as industrial environments, medical science, surveillance & security and more. DIAMOND supplies high-quality solutions to polarization maintaining (PM) and polarizing (PZ) fiber optical interfaces for optimal control of the signal’s polarization state. Low insertion losses (IL), combined with high polarization extinction ratios (PER) and very high return losses (RL) are achieved over very broad spectral ranges, due to a combination of accurate optical and mechanical design.

HE-2000 Harsh Environment Push Pull Fibre Optic Connector
Diamond has developed the new rugged, reliable, IP 67, push-pull actuating HE-2000™ harsh environment connector with superior optical and mechanical performance for demanding applications.
Built around the innovative Diamond Multipurpose (DM) insert, the HE-2000™ connector incorporates four (4) termini using Diamond's two-component ferrules, assembled with the company's Active Core Alignment (ACA) process for unparalleled fiber core concentricity. Also available are electrical contacts for hybrid E/O applications.
The optical and electrical termini are protected from dust and water with the unique automatic protection shutter on the plug connector and a manual shutter on the bulkhead receptacle.
The HE-2000™ connector is available for MM, SM (PC/APC) and small-core single mode fibre, polarization-maintaining (PM) fibre, and other specialty fibre types. Furthermore, Diamond splice-on termini can be field terminated with the Diamond ZEUS D50 HE fusion splicer, allowing for in-service repairs and special installations

X-Beam Expanded Beam Connector
The Diamond X-BEAM is a genderless tactical fiber optic connector which uses lens based expanded beam technology for ease of cleaning and mating in outdoor applications. The X-BEAM expands and collimates the transmission signal at the mating point. The expanded beam technology reduces the impact of both misalignment as well as endface contamination. The lens system encloses and protects the fiber end face allowing the connector to be quickly cleaned and mated in the field without special tools. Genderless construction helps simplify use under adverse conditions. The X-BEAM connector is an ideal choice for use within harsh environments such as field-deployable communications, mobile diagnostic units, avionics, security systems and much more. The Diamond X-BEAM 4 channels connector is terminated with Diamond’s homologated MM and SM cable (Customer cable assemblies available upon request).
The X-BEAM FUSION incorporates a special insert with removable Fiber Optic termini which allow an easy field termination and repair, this thanks to a quick termini locking mechanism and the Diamond ZEUS D50 HE Fusion splicer, only for Multimode cable.
