SubscribeThe Stratos 900 Series harsh environment connectors are designed for deployment in the toughest applications where high performance and total reliability are critical.
The Stratos 900 Series harsh environment connectors are designed for deployment in the toughest applications where
high performance and total reliability are critical.
Benefiting 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.
Hermaphroditic Fibre Optic Connectors
The 900 Series Hermaphroditic design eliminates the need for adaptors and male and female mating halves. Hermaphroditic housings allow for rapid field deployment, creating low loss singlemode, multimode or Hybrid daisy chained links.
Ideally suited in environmental extremities where low maintenance and quick reparability is necessary the connectors are uniquely field installable, rapid field repairable, and are available in a broad range of multi-channel configurations including bulkhead feed throughs.
A variety of shell materials make the 900 Series suitable for use in extreme arctic marine environments through to military platforms used in the most hostile of desert conditions.
The 900 series Expanded Beam Fibre Optic Connectors deliver a proven pedigree and world beating capability.
