HEBS-100-Series
Hermaphroditic Expanded Beam Connectors
HEBS-100-Series
The HEBS style Expanded Beam connector is designed for harsh environmental application, where space constraints are an issue and standard EB connectivity is too large. With just 21mm diameter the HEBS connector is one of the smallest 4CH EB connectors in the market. For easy panel mount on a 1U rack a XLR compatible FMBH has been designed.
The broadcast, security & surveillance and industrial markets are user of this connector style in a variety of application.
The HEBS range features 1-4 optical channels, Singlemode 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. The unique RFID tagging system provides a tool for inventory control and carries the performance data as an electronic test certificate. Having as standard; aluminium anodized housings, the Sockeye connectors are also available in stainless steel, which meets the requirements for naval, mining and other extreme applications.
