Fischer Connectors has launched its new single fibre optic connector (FO1) within its Fischer FiberOptic Series. It’s a miniature, lightweight and rugged connectivity solution .
The FO1 connector is available either in pre-configured reels or integrated into custom assemblies for applications in instrumentation, sensing, defense and broadcasting to name only a few of the various fields for which this new product is ideally suited.
The new connector fulfills the growing market need for higher data transmission rates over long distances, while reducing space and guaranteeing performance by means of rugged miniature solutions.
The FO1 connector integrates fully into the existing Fischer FiberOptic Series combined with easy use, cleaning and maintenance even in the field. UPC & APC polishing reduces insertion and return losses, making devices more secure, while IP68 sealing provides highly valuable device protection. The push-pull locking system allows quick and easy connections and disconnections, making these connectors ideally suited for outdoor environments. The removable sleeve holder (monobloc mate adapter) ensures that end faces can be cleaned easily, keeping electronics in top condition.
Weve extended our Fischer FiberOptic Series bearing our customers needs for flexibility and efficiency in mind, says Christopher Martin, FiberOptic Product Manager at Fischer Connectors.
The product lines main benefits high optical stability in harsh environments, robustness, and ease of use, cleaning and maintenance remain the same. But weve designed this smaller product to be even lighter and more flexible so that its easy to integrate into existing solutions, saving time and money for our customers.
As a reminder, the Fischer FiberOptic Series already includes two versions: a rugged fiber optic connector with two or four fibers, and a rugged hybrid connector with two fiber channels and two electrical contacts.
The FO1 connector can be pre-configured with Fischer FiberOptic Series reels of any required length, a convenient and flexible turnkey solution. To enable customers to choose the right connectivity solution for their specific needs, Fischer Connectors also provides a user-friendly request form that guarantees the mistake-proof configuration of cable assemblies.
