Our QuickTreX® 4 Channel/Fiber Expanded Beam Field Tactical Singlemode Custom Deployable Fiber Optic Cable Assembly with Ultra Rugged Hermaphroditic Neutrik FIBERFOX Waterproof IP68 Rated Connectors are designed to withstand the harshest of environments. When we receive your custom order, we build the assembly to your specifications using the finest materials to our exacting standards.
All of our custom tactical fiber optic assemblies are always manufactured in the USA by highly trained technicians and include strict quality control and ISO9001 certified manufacturing. We also offer a quick and easy ordering process which includes ultra fast production times. We will keep you informed of your order status from start to finish so you can plan your event accordingly. You will receive an order confirmation immediately, a ship date within 24 hours, and tracking information once your custom assembly ships out.
The ultra rugged hermaphroditic connectors used for these assemblies are ideal for extra harsh environments seen in the following industries: Military, Space, Audio, Broadcast, Mining, Oil, Drilling, and more. The innovative design of the expanded beam connector allows you to deploy your fiber optic cable through the harshest environments where critical networks take place and reliability is an absolute must.
About the Neutrik FIBERFOX Expanded Beam Connector: This connector is designed according to the MIL-DTL-83526 standard and fits to all other connectors with this standard. The expanded beam technology and precise optical alignment creates superior protection from liquids, mud, dust, dirt, and other contamination. The FIBERFOX hermaphroditic coupling eliminates the need for adaptors and female and male mating adapters. Another extremely important benefit of this connector is that it's extremely easy to clean unlike standard fiber optic connectors. Due to the lens over the end face of the fiber optic strand you can easily clean this connector in the field with compressed air or just a clean lint free cloth. For example, these connectors can be dragged through mud, quickly cleaned off with not special tools, and work perfect.
Connector Features:
- Ultra Heavy Duty IP68 Rated (Even Unprotected)
- No Special Cleaning Tools Needed
- Ø = 5mm
- PUR flame-retardant
- Halogen-free
- Bent Tolerant
- Wear-free Connectors > 10000 mating cycles without any maintenance
- Cables are Prolongable Direct (No Couplers Required)
About the Singlemode Field Tactical Fiber Optic Cable: The military tactical fiber optic cable used offers superior crush resistance of 1,800 N/cm and extreme operating temperatures of -50°C to +85°C. It can withstand heavy vehicle and high foot traffic. It includes a black flame retardant tactical polyurethane jacket with a hard elastomeric buffer material. It also includes bend tolerant singlemode optical fiber.
Schill Reels
This tactical fiber is commonly used for deployment situations where the fiber needs to be deployed fast and reeled back up when done. This is why we recommend using one of the Schill Reel options for your tactical assembly. We have two different options depending on the length of your assembly. Please choose the correct one per the length of your fiber because each reel is sized to hold a certain length. We also have a no reel option for shorter lengths, and a basic shipping spool for situations where a deployment reel isn't needed.

This is the second time ordering from LANshack. Both times were great experiences. If you are a DIY person who has tried to but RJ-45 connectors on cat cable you can imagine how great it is to just do the measurements and avoid that brain damage. Great service and good quality product.

LANshack: Best custom CAT8 ethernet cable on the market!
I needed a custom 55 foot S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) CAT8 indoor ethernet cable for ethernet backhaul between two Eero mesh routers. I did tons of research (including Grok) and I came across LANshack.com. They have the thickest 23AWG wire in their custom CAT8 cable vs 26AWG on Amazon (lower number is thicker; 23AWG wire has roughly twice the cross-sectional area of 26AWG). Excellent price per foot, and this cable is thick! Very quick turnaround once you order from them. I am very pleased with LANshack and I will order from them again for future projects!
