A new era in fiber optic transmission
ODU expanded beam performance portfolio with vita-standard solutions
(PresseBox) - The limitations of current fiber connectivity solutions in the world of rugged embedded systems continue to be an issue for end users in defence and aerospace applications. These limitations include low mating cycles and the need for excessive cleaning in the field. The new Expanded Beam Performance products are the answer to these limitations. Very high mating cycles, low susceptibility to dust and excellent transmission values are a game changer for the end user. The Expanded Beam Performance solutions are available as singlemode and multimode version. Due to its small size, the ferrule can be integrated in both circular and backplane connectors.
At the heart of the new portfolio is a cassette system that allows multiple ferrules to be arranged side by side in a space-saving manner. With 12 connected fibers per ferrule, up to 96 optical fibers can be connected to one connector. The technology is available both in classic I/O circular connectors, and in backplane connection systems in accordance with the VITA standard. In addition to its outstanding transmission values, it exceeds available ferrules on the market with its extreme durability. The scattering of the light by using expanded beam technology eliminates the high maintenance costs typical for physical contact solutions.
ODU TACTICS // VITA 95
The circular connector enables the compact combination of multiple ferrules and is based on the upcoming VITA 95 standard. ODU TACTICS offers four different sizes of connectors within MIL-DTL-38999, Series lll housings, and enables the connection of up to 96 optical fibers depending on the configuration. The design is characterized by its robustness and has been the market standard in the military environment for some time. This solution is the low maintenance alternative to products according to VITA 87 and VITA 89.
ODU AMC® Series T
This alternative to the standardized MIL-DTL-38999, Series lll connector excels with its innovative locking principle and even smaller footprint. Qualified on the basis of the 38999 test standards, ODU AMC Series T meets all requirements for use in extreme environments and scores points with its lower weight and smaller form factor. Couplings are available in the familiar square flange design, but also as a jam nut version. The system enables a secure connection for at least 5,000 mating cycles without the need for cleaning.
ODU BACKPLANE // VITA 96
Based on the upcoming VITA 96 standard, the BACKPLANE line enables the direct connection from module to backplane. The versions of VITA 96.1, VITA 96.4, and VITA 96.5 fit into the same apertures as commonly known VITA 66.1, VITA 66.4, VITA 66.5 solutions, thus enabling easy integration of the innovative Expanded Beam Performance technology. With a service life of at least 10,000 mating cycles, this connection solution is ideal for applications that have to be regularly fitted with different modules over a long period of use.
