Rugged fibre-optic connectors launched

ODU’s Expanded Beam Performance ferrules are the heart of its new rugged fibre-optic connector portfolio. Each ferrule can connect 12 optical fibers via a non-contact lens system. A space saving cassette arrangement allows system expansion up to 96 optical fibers. This has resulted in three products, in differing configurations. 

ODU Backplane connects modules to the mission computer and allows quick replacement. Thanks to insensitivity to dust and pollution, it allows for quick and easy maintenance. The connectors are available in three different dimensions, as defined in upcoming standards VITA 96.1, 96.4 and 96.5

ODU Tactics combines the proven MIL-DTL 38999, Series III connectors with Expanded Beam Performance technology. The VITA 95 interconnect system is designed to take fibre optic transmission in aircraft to a new level. Available in four shell sizes: 11, 13, 15 and 17.

ODU AMC Series T is a circular connector tested to MIL-DTL 38999 standards. This I/O connector is available with push-pull or thread-lock mechanism and provides data integrity with a smaller outer diameter and higher fibre density than traditional solutions
