Project Description
AXOS
Physical Contact Connectors – European Standards
The Amphenol AXOS fiber optic expanded beam is a miniature, hermaphroditic and cost effective alternative to other expanded beam connectors, offering a robust and protected optical connection in a small size (OD 27 mm). This allows the user to establish a variable length daisy-chain link in both indoor and outdoor applications. The beam diameter makes the connection resistant to environmental contamination, temperature variations and humidity, while the design facilitates easy cleaning of the mechanical and optical connector parts.
Features
- 1, 2 or 4-channel plugs and receptacles with protective plastic caps
- Hermaphroditic interface with rapid ramp coupling
- Protective window to ensure an easy cleaning of the optical device
