Signal integrity is permanently threatened in harsh and critical environments. Indeed, vibrations, contaminations, or misalignment can disturb the continuity of the optical signal transmission and lead to mission failure.

As connectors constitute the cornerstone of signal continuity, they must withstand such constraints to fulfill their purposes.

To do so, different types of connectors are designed to perfectly meet the requirements of severe and critical environments. Among them is the expanded beam.

By expanding the light beam using a lens, the light from one contact is delivered without loss to the lens of the next contact. The Expanded Beam technology thus ensures reliable and uninterrupted transmission, even in challenging environments.
