F960 Expanded Beam Connector
Fiber Optic Connectors
F960 expanded beam fiber optic connectors are fully compatible with
other Eurocom type II legacy connectors. Designed specifically for military
tactical communications, the F960 connector is available with 2, 4, 8 or
12 multimode optical channels and features a unique “pinless” alignment
technique providing flat, easily cleanable mating surfaces.
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 F960 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.
