Expanded Beam Interconnects

Product catalog summary

Expanded Beam Interconnect Solutions

Overview
The document discusses expanded beam interconnect solutions, emphasizing their robustness, versatility, and ease of use. These solutions are designed for harsh environments and offer multichannel options ranging from 1 to 12 channels, with hybrid optical and electrical capabilities.

Principle of Expanded Beam
The expanded beam principle involves a lensed-ferrule that ensures reliable and maintenance-free optical connections. This method is insensitive to dirt and debris, providing a highly repeatable, low insertion loss connection. It is particularly beneficial in scenarios requiring high mating cycles, dust insensitivity, reliability, and low losses.

Advantages
