The innovative Expanded Beam Performance (EBP) technology, already available in the robust AMC® Series T military connectors, is now also available for the MINI-SNAP® Series K, MEDI-SNAP® and both the ODU-MAC® Silver-Line and White-Line products.
As a non-contact lens technology, Expanded Beam Performance products offer a game-changing interface for fibre-optic systems, with numerous advantages, including low attenuation, virtually no cleaning or maintenance requirements and a long service life.
These advantages make EBP the ideal solution for applications where maximum reliability and performance are required.
Future-proof EBP technology impresses with optimum performance
- Low attenuation levels Withmaximum signal quality and low latency, EBP solutions achieve attenuation levels that are even lower than the outstanding values of conventional physical contact (PC) solutions.
Typical Max / Min
Insertion loss Singlemode (SM) < 0.35 dB < 0.7 dB (max.)
Multimode (MM) < 0.15 dB < 0.3 dB (max.)
Return loss Singlemode (SM) > 60 dB ≥ 55 dB (min.)
Multimode (MM) > 45 dB ≥ 35 dB (min.)
- No cleaning or maintenance required Ferrule cleaning is only necessary in the case of extreme soiling. Under normal conditions no maintenance is required, the maximum service life can be achieved without a single cleaning cycle.
- Long service life Contactless transmission means no wear on the contact elements, giving at least 50,000 mating cycles.
AMC Series T Expanded Beam Performance
The existing combination consists of EBP technology and a robust circular connector for harsh environments.
With its innovative 3-in-1 locking system, non-reflective surface and high resistance to external influences, the AMC Series T has already proven its worth as an EBP solution for military use.
MINI-SNAP Series K Expanded Beam Performance
The classic circular metal connector, characterized by safety and flexibility. With a well-proven push-pull locking system, environmental protection to IP68 and the smallest 12-lens plug on the market.
MEDI-SNAP Expanded Beam Performance
Made of high-quality plastic, the Medi-Snap is up to 75% lighter than comparable products. Its features make it ideal for mobile applications, especially in the medical sector.
ODU-MAC Silver-Line & White-Line EBP module
Integration into a modular connector enables the hybrid use of EBP technology with other media such as electrical signals or air and fluids. The robust interfaces enable automatic or manual docking with a high number of mating cycles.
