Senior connectors

Senior expanded beam fiber optic connectors have been designed for use in the most demanding harsh environment applications
including military tactical communications, outside broadcast, petrochemical plant, mining, and offshore systems. The Senior connector range includes 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 optical channel versions and four fiber optic / electrical hybrid variants.
The connectors are terminated using an epoxy-polish ferrule termination process with standard fiber optic termination tools and
equipment. The terminated ferrules are simply inserted into the expanded beam housing and fixed in place via a spring and coverplate. Ferrule alignment to the lenses is achieved automatically by the unique optical arrangement developed and patented by CinchFibreco. In hybrid connectors, electrical connections are made via standard gold plated MIL-C-39029 crimp contacts.
