The Stratos
900 Series harsh environment connectors
are designed for deployment in the
toughest applications where high
performance and total reliability are
critical. Benefiting from Stratos
expanded beam technology, with a long
and proven industry track record, the
precision optical alignment system
creates immunity from water, mud, dust,
oil and other contaminants which
normally ingress the optical path and
rapidly deteriorate performance in a
field environment.
The 900
Series Hermaphroditic design eliminates
the need for adaptors and male and
female mating halves. Hermaphroditic
housings allow for rapid field
deployment, creating low loss singlemode,
multimode or Hybrid daisy chained links.
Ideally suited in environmental
extremities where low maintenance and
quick reparability is necessary the
connectors are uniquely field
installable, rapid field repairable, and
are available in a broad range of
multi-channel configurations including
bulkhead feed throughs. A variety of
shell materials make the 900 Series
suitable for use in extreme arctic
marine environments through to military
platforms used in the most hostile of
desert conditions.
The 900
series Expanded Beam Fibre Optic
Connectors deliver a proven pedigree and
world beating capability.
