Neutrik extends fiber optic connectivity solutions with Fiberfox

The Neutrik Group has announced the addition of the Fiberfox range of expanded beam technology connectivity systems to Neutrik’s portfolio of fiber optic solutions.

Designed to meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-83526 military specifications - enabling multiple interconnections with other expanded beam solutions - the Neutrik Fiberfox Fiber Optic Connection System is a solution for use in harsh environments, with performance of the expanded beam fiber optic connectivity in wet, dirty, dusty, high and low temperature environments.

The Fiberfox expanded beam fiber optic connectors utilise a lens to expand and accurately align the light emitting from an optical fiber. The aligned light beam is transmitted through an air gap to a mating connector, where the light is collected and focused by a second lens into a second optical fiber to complete the connection. 

With 50/125 multimode fiber, the expanded and aligned light beam has an active area that is approximately 3.600 times larger than a typical 50 µm multimode fiber core, resulting in a greater percentage of available transmission power, with no variation in signal strength over time. Fiberfox can withstand in excess of 10,000 mating cycles without maintenance or insertion loss and can be cleaned using clean water and a lint-free cloth. IP68 compliant - certified waterproof up to a depth of 6 m - the connectors feature a screwed locking mechanism.

Fiberfox’s hermaphroditic coupling - the connector capable of both front- and rear-mounting - eliminates the need for adaptors and female and male mating halves. The system is available in 2-channel and 4-channel variants, with either configuration compatible with the other configuration, and other MIL-DTL-83526 specified systems.

Both configurations are available as either pre-assembled network cables, in standardized lengths, and as the Fiberfox BriDge chassis connector, which fits into the Neutrik D-shape cutout and acts as a ‘feed-through’ converting a standardized LC Patch cable into an expanded beam solution, with an LC cable connecting directly into the back of the BriDge chassis connector.
