The Stratos
960 Series, Eurocom Type II connector,
specified within NATO and the German
Military, benefits 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. With over 10 years service
the 960 Series is the favoured military
solution, providing excellent stable
performance in hostile environments.
The
coupling design of the 960 eliminates
the need for adaptors and male or female
mating halves. Hermaphroditic housings
allow simple deployment, creating low
loss singlemode and multimode daisy
chained links.
Ideally
suited in environmental extremities
where low maintenance and quick
reparability is necessary the connectors
are uniquely field installable and rapid
field repairable, with field maintenance
kits supplied by Stratos to ensure
replacement parts training, cost and
time are all kept to a minimum. A broad
range of multi-channel configurations
including bulkhead feed throughs are
available in a variety of shell
materials, making the 960 Series
suitable for use in extreme Arctic
Marine environments through to military
platforms used in the most hostile of
desert conditions.
The 960
series Expanded Beam Fibre Optic
Connectors deliver a proven pedigree and
world beating capability.
