X-BEAM Std. & Fusion

X-BEAM Std. & Fusion

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Diamond X-BEAM is a tactical fiber optic connector designed for harsh environments, utilizing lens-based expanded beam technology. This technology facilitates easy cleaning and mating in outdoor applications by expanding and collimating the transmission signal at the mating point, reducing the impact of misalignment and contamination. The connector's genderless design simplifies use in adverse conditions.

Applications
The X-BEAM connector is suitable for field-deployable communications, mobile diagnostic units, avionics, and security systems. It is available in both standard and fusion versions, with the latter allowing easy field termination and repair using a quick termini locking mechanism and the Diamond ZEUS D50 HE Fusion splicer.

Features and Benefits
  • Rugged construction for reliable optical connections.
  • IP 68 rated enclosure, compliant with IEC 60529.
  • Intermateable with MIL-DTL83526/20/21 compliant connectors.
  • High tolerance connector housings for repeatable, low loss connections.
  • Integrated expanded beam lens system for improved optical performance.
  • Keyed, self-aligning connector housing for blind mating applications.

Specifications
  • Insertion Loss (IL) for Single Mode (SM): Typical 0.9 dB, Max 1.6 dB.
  • Return Loss (RL) for SM: Typical 30 dB.
  • Insertion Loss (IL) for Multimode (MM): Typical 0.7 dB, Max 1.3 dB.
  • Return Loss (RL) for MM: Typical 25 dB.
  • Operating and Storage Temperature: -55°C to +85°C.
  • Vibration and Free Fall: Tested under various conditions as per IEC and MIL standards.

Connector Types and Dimensions
The X-BEAM is available in OLC (Optical Lenses Connector) and OLB (Optical Lenses Bulkhead) types, with 1 to 4 channels. Housing materials include metal and plastic.

Ordering Information

Catalog excerpts

X-BEAM Std. & Fusion-1

The Diamond X-BEAM is a genderless tactical fiber optic connector which uses lens based expanded beam technology for ease of cleaning and mating in outdoor applications. The X-BEAM expands and collimates the transmission signal at the mating point. The expanded beam technology reduces the impact of both misalignment as well as endface contamination. The lens system encloses and protects the fiber end face allowing the connector to be quickly cleaned and mated in the field without special tools. Genderless construction helps simplify use under adverse conditions. The X-BEAM connector is an ideal choice for use within harsh environments such as field-deployable communications, mobile diagnostic units, avionics, security systems and much more. The Diamond X-BEAM 4 channels connector is terminated with Diamond's homologated MM and SM cable (Customer cable assemblies available upon request). The X-BEAM FUSION incorporates a special insert with removable Fiber Optic termini which allow an easy field termination and repair, this thanks to a quick termini locking mechanism and the Diamond ZEUS D50 HE Fusion splicer, only for Multimode cable.
