This high-density fiberoptic connector system is designed for applications that require reduced size and weight. The system offers insertion loss values less than 0.5 db and has a dense cavity spacing that is achieved with a 18 AWG front-release terminus design, and accommodation for M85045/16 cable. The system features a genderless terminus design, is environmentally sealed, and has a hex feature for optional tuning.

The SCOUT (SC OUTside) fiberoptic connectors and adapters are designed for Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) outside plant applications. The robust, hardened design of the adapter/connector combination uses materials and seals designed to resist extremes in temperature, humidity, UV, and chemical exposure. The SCOUT system is designed to ensure reliable and secure connections under extreme environmental and mechanical conditions usually seen in aerial and buried terminal deployments.

OminReach hardened fiberoptic connectors are environmentally robust to provide a reliable interface for drop cables in outside plant environments. The rugged connectors are hardened to protect against extreme temperature and other harsh conditions in the outside plant. They are supplied with a protective cap that seals the connectors and keeps them clean until use. (The protective cap is removed upon installation, and the drop cable is connected to the hardened adapter.)

The FiberExpress Secure/Keyed LC System allows for physical segregation of network segments in secure fiber cabling infrastructures. These products have been designed for use in secure networks in government agencies and military facilities, and in data centers treating sensitive and classified information. The FiberExpress line includes connector modules, patch cords, and adapter strips and modules. They are available with six different keying options, and carry a different color to facilitate network administration.

The PHD fiberoptic connector system is based on an industry-standard 1.25-mm ceramic ferrule. The PHD system enables a higher density optical system than traditional SC, ST, or MC ferrule technologies. The optical core connector bodies and structured cable systems have been engineered to support mission-critical applications within data-carrying networks. A highly robust design, says the company, minimizes the potential for operator error, further simplifying field service, and repair. The PHD system is designed for telecommunications, automotive systems, commercial aircraft, data communications, industrial applications, medical products, and military applications.

INDUSTRIAL GRADE CONNECTORS

This industrial grade fiberoptic connector system is designed to provide high reliability under harsh environmental conditions. The system consists of a flange mounting outlet, two SC feed-through adapters, and one duplex connector with two SC ferrules. They are fixed together using a threaded coupling mechanism, and can be terminated using standard tools. Whether connected or disconnected, the system is dustproof and waterproof in accordance with the IP67 protection class.

These LC cleanable adaptor front shells are an addition to an existing family of cleanable adapters. The adapters let equipment users clean the tips of the connectors inside their equipment from the outside without the need to open the equipment. The LC adapters are typically used for any type of fiberoptic measurement equipment application. A one-touch operation lock lever allows the front and rear shells to be easily coupled and uncoupled.
