HEBXL-400-Series

Hermaphroditic Expanded Beam Connectors

HEBXL-400-Series

The HEBXL style Expanded Beam connector is designed to comply with the EUROCOM II Military Standard.

The connector therefore complies to the EUROCOM II Basic Parameters D/1 IB5, Connector Type 2, as well as with the TL6020-0001 of the German Office of Military Engineering and Purchasing.

The broadcast and industrial markets also use this connector style in a variety of application.

The HEBXL range features 2-12 optical channels in 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 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 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, which meets the requirements for naval, mining and other extreme applications.
