Neutrik Expands the FIBERFOX Expanded Beam Connector and Cabling Product Group

	The new EBC25 connectors feature green coloring that provides visual compatibility with similar systems.

Neutrik Americas, part of the Neutrik Group, announces an expansion to its FIBERFOX rugged fiber optic product line. FIBERFOX uniquely bridges between the physical contact world and the expanded beam world using chassis connectors that accept standard LCs on one side and any MIL-DTL-83526 compatible cable connectors on the other side. The new FIBERFOX EBC25 cable connectors and chassis connectors, plus new XTREME cabling options, provide compelling new options.

The new EBC25 connectors feature green coloring that provides visual compatibility with similar systems. EBC25 chassis connectors feature a jam nut design for installation in environments where the D-size flange is unnecessary. This design provides a compelling drop-in alternative to existing MIL-DTL-83526 products. EBC25 cable connectors feature a durable EPDM boot and higher temperature resistance of -46°C to 71°C, compared to standard EBC15 black-and-orange connectors. EBC25 connectors are available in both 2-channel multimode and 4-channel multimode configurations.

Additionally, all FIBERFOX cable assemblies, whether in the traditional EBC15 black-and-orange coloring or the new EBC25 green coloring, can now be manufactured using Neutrik's premium, extra rugged XTREME cabling. XTREME cabling features a cut-proof and rodent-resistant double jacket with glass yarn reinforcement in addition to an interior layer of aramid yarn, yielding an unparalleled combination of durability plus flexibility, the company says.

As with all FIBERFOX cable assemblies, the new FIBERFOX XTREME cable assemblies require no special cleaning or measurement tools and feature IP68 weather resistance both mated and unmated. Further, they are wear-free with constant performance to 10,000 mating cycles with no maintenance required, the company says.

David Kuklinksi, Neutrik Americas' director of fiber optic solutions, comments on the company's new FIBERFOX products, "These new offerings will be highly beneficial to existing and new FIBERFOX users. The green color and jam nut form factors have been requested by many customers who have wanted to switch to FIBERFOX for its superior integration and performance compared to industry alternatives. Likewise, XTREME cable will be welcomed by customers who require the utmost durability in very harsh conditions."

Neutrik FIBERFOX EBC25 connectors and XTREME cable assemblies are available now. For additional information, please contact Neutrik Americas at 704.972.3050.
