Range of beam fibre optic connectors available with MIL and commercial specifications

Lane Electronics now offers the CINCH Fibreco JUNIOR expanded beam fibre optic connectors from stock.

Expanded beam fibre optic connectors were designed to overcome the unreliability of traditional physical contact fibre optic connectors in harsh environments due to their sensitivity to dirt, dust, mud, water, oil, and other contaminants.

These expanded beam connectors are qualified to the US MIL-DTL-83526/20 and /21 standard or Commercial release. They are available with one to four single-mode or multimode fibre optic contacts, feature a fully sealed hermaphroditic construction, and are field terminable and repairable utilising standard fibre optic termination tools and equipment.

The connectors have aluminium and stainless-steel shells and have been designed for use in the most demanding harsh environment applications including defence tactical communications, radar and SATCOM installations, petrochemical plant, mining offshore, subsea and energy production, industrial and transportation communication and broadcasting entertainment links where performance and reliability are critical.
