HEBL-300-Series
Hermaphroditic Expanded Beam Connectors
HEBL-300-Series
The HEBL style Expanded Beam connector is following the family of Hermaphroditic Connectors from Sockeye which is becoming the de facto standard in today’s military market.
The broadcast and industrial markets are also using this connector style in a variety of application.
The HEBL range features 2-12 optical channels, Singlemode and/or Multimode
The Expanded Beam technology allows the usage of optical communication in the harshest environments and the Sockeye connector range provide the user with the security that the communication link will work: – first time, every time.
The hermaphroditic design is particularly useful and provides unique benefits in rapid deployment or cable extensions, as no adaptors are needed. Any two connectors can just be interconnected.
Technology
The Sockeye connectors are available in Singlemode and Multimode with best performance in class. By design the connectors are future proof, as the optical path is optimized to support the range from 850nm to 1310nm in Multimode and 1310nm to 1550nm for Singlemode application.
These Connectors are agnostic to the signal passing through, so WDM is also possible, whenever higher bandwidth needs to be transmitted. The connectors are field repairable. Having as standard; aluminium anodized housings, the Sockeye connectors are also available in stainless steel and marine bronze which meets the requirements for naval, mining and other extreme applications.
