Fibreco Senior expanded beam fiber optic connectors

Fibreco Senior 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 Senior connector range includes 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 optical channel versions and five fiber optic / electrical hybrid variants. The connectors are terminated using an epoxy-polish 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 Fibreco. In hybrid connectors, electrical connections are made via standard gold plated MIL-C-39029 crimp contacts. The Senior expanded beam connectors offer high performance, flexibility and cost effectiveness, combined with a simple termination process allowing rapid in-field termination and repair.
