Armored Fiber Cables with Expanded Beam Connectors

Rugged Fiber Connectivity for Harsh Environments

Expanded beam fiber optic connectors are designed for applications where conventional physical-contact fiber connectors can be vulnerable to dirt, dust, moisture, vibration and repeated mating cycles.

Unlike traditional fiber connectors that bring polished fiber ends into physical contact, expanded beam technology uses precision optical lenses to expand and transmit the light beam across a small air gap. Because the critical optical surfaces do not touch during mating, the connector is more resistant to contamination and wear.

Built for Field Deployment

Expanded beam assemblies are particularly well suited for military, tactical, broadcast, industrial, mining, transportation and outdoor communications where fiber cables may be connected and disconnected repeatedly under demanding conditions.

• High resistance to dust, dirt and moisture
• No physical contact between fiber end faces
• Excellent durability through repeated mating cycles
• Easier field cleaning than conventional fiber termini
• Rugged performance in demanding outdoor environments
• Singlemode and multimode configurations
