FAQ
What makes expanded beam technology superior for tactical applications?
Expanded beam technology uses lenses to expand and collimate the light beam, creating a significantly larger mating surface than traditional physical contact connectors. This design provides superior resistance to dirt, dust and contamination while reducing wear on connector faces during repeated mating cycles.
Are these assemblies truly waterproof?
Yes, the Neutrik FIBERFOX connectors feature an IP68 rating, meaning they are completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand continuous immersion in water beyond 1 meter depth.
How quickly can you produce custom assemblies?
Our typical lead time for custom assemblies is just 3-5 business days, significantly faster than industry standards for custom fiber optic assemblies.
Can these assemblies be used with standard fiber optic equipment?
Yes, we offer various adapter options (shown on this page) that allow connection between FIBERFOX expanded beam connectors and standard fiber connectors like LC, SC, or Neutrik OpticalCON.
What is the difference between the standard Tactical and Extreme Mil-Tac cable versions?
The standard Tactical cables offer excellent durability for most field applications, while the Extreme Mil-Tac versions feature double jacketing for maximum crush resistance, tensile strength, and environmental protection in the most demanding conditions.
How do hermaphroditic connectors benefit field deployments?
Hermaphroditic connectors can mate with any other connector of the same type, eliminating the need to match male and female ends. This universal mating capability significantly simplifies cable management and deployment, especially in time-sensitive or difficult environments.
