Neutrik FiberFox Fiber Optic Connection System
Neutrik Americas has introduced the FiberFox Fiber Optic Connection System . Designed to meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-83526 military specifications , the FiberFox Fiber Optic Connection System is ideal for use in harsh environments thanks to its expanded beam fibre optic connectivity .
The FiberFox ’ s expanded beam fiber optic connectors utilize a lens to expand and accurately align the light emitting from an optical fiber . The aligned light beam is transmitted through an air gap to a mating connector , where the light is collected and focused by a second lens into a second optical fibre to complete the connection . With 50 / 125 multimode fibre , the expanded and aligned light beam has an active area that is approximately 3,600 times larger than a typical 50 µ m multimode fibre core . That results in a dramatically increased percentage of available transmission power , with no variation in signal strength over time , according to the company .
The FiberFox Fiber Optic Connection System incorporates both two- and four-channel heavy-duty connectors that are IP68 waterproof certified up to a depth of 6m , both mated and unmated , without a protective cap . With full MIL-DTL-83526 compatibility , this system works for a wide range of markets , including lighting / network , PA / sound , video , broadcast , defense and government , and more .
