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.
