HXB Connector Series
Fiber Optic Connectors and Cable Assemblies for Harsh Environment Applications
The HXB Connectors, featuring expanded beam technology, hermaphroditic connections, and rugged construction for field deployment, have been designed for harsh environment applications such as military tactical communications, avionics, offshore systems, outside broadcast, mining, and plants.
The expanded beam technology uses expanded and collimated beams to couple optical fibers without any contact. It could allow for optics to be used in areas that have been quite restrictive due to the presence of damage or contamination at the fiber end. The hermaphroditic connector design enables fast deployment by daisy-chaining multiple cable segments.
