Beam inserts.
Expanded Beam Principle
Fiber Optic Interconnect/
Cable System using
Expanded Beam technology,
which physically expands
and collimates the transmis-
sion signal into an optical
beam over 14 times its
original diameter (the cross
sectional area of the light
beam increases over 200
times for multimode optical
signals. For singlemode
signals, the collimated
beam is over 45 times its
original diameter (the cross-
sectional area of the light
beam increases over 2,000
times.). It is then refocused
back down onto the core of
the receiving fiber. This
approach provides ease
of alignment and low
sensitivity to thermal
changes and contamination.
High strength, precision con-
nector housings enhance
a durable connection,
optimizing low loss and
repeatable performance.
Suitable for aerospace,
avionics, field-deployable
communications, marine
ship-to-shore applications,
security systems, mobile
diagnostic units, oil and
gas exploration and other
harsh environment applica-
tions demanding strength,
durability and reliable
performance in conditions
of multiple coupling/
decouplings, blindmate
situations, and high vibration.
