Fibreco Junior expanded beam fiber optic connectors

Junior expanded beam fiber optic connectors have been designed for use in the most demanding harsh environment applications including military tactical communications, outside broadcast, petrochemical plant, mining, and offshore systems. The connectors are terminated using an epoxypolish ferrule termination process with standard fiber optic termination tools and equipment. The terminated ferrules are simply inserted into the expanded beam housing and fixed in place via a spring and cover-plate. Ferrule alignment to the lenses is achieved automatically by the unique optical arrangement developed and patented by CinchFibreco. In the event of the connector suffering severe damage in use, the connector design enables replacement of the expanded beam insert, connector front body and grip ring without the need to re-terminate the fibers. Typically, an expanded beam insert can be replaced within 30 minutes in field conditions. The Junior expanded beam connectors offer high performance, flexibility and cost effectiveness, combined with a simple termination process allowing rapid in-field termination and repair.
