F900 Expanded Beam Connector
Fiber Optic Connectors
The Cinch Advantage
F900 expanded beam fiber optic connectors are fully compatible with
Stratos S900 and Tyco Pro-Beam Senior legacy connectors.
Designed specifically for military tactical communications, the F900
connector is available with 2, 4 or 8 multimode or singlemode optical
channels and can be supplied with aluminum or nickel aluminum bronze
shells.
The connectors are terminated using an epoxy-polish ferrule termination
process with standard fiber optic termination tools and equipment. The
terminated ferrules are simply inserted into the expanded beam housing
and fixed in place via a spring and cover-plate. Ferrule alignment to
the lenses is achieved automatically by the unique optical arrangement
developed and patented by Cinch-Fibreco.
In the event of the connector suffering severe damage in use, the
connector design enables replacement of the expanded beam insert,
connector front body and grip ring without the need to re-terminate the
fibers. Typically, an expanded beam insert can be replaced within 30
minutes in field conditions.
The F900 expanded beam connectors offer high performance, flexibility
and cost effectiveness, combined with a simple termination process
allowing rapid in-field termination and repair where compatibility with
legacy products is essential.
