In addition to its broad range of fibre-optic interconnect solutions, Radiall is offering a new solution for field rapid deployment applications in harsh environments – the Pro Beam.
The interconnection is made through an optical lens in order to increase the size of the beam on the output of the connector. Each connector can be mated without using an adapter in between and there are no polarisation or gender issues, as the concept is hermaphroditic and therefore brings flexibility to field installations.
The expanded beam technology makes the Pro Beam system less susceptible to dust and pollution than other technologies. This, in addition to the robust construction with shock absorber and the fact that the connectors can handle a high number of matings due to there being no physical contact between optical parts, makes the system well suited to harsh environments.
There are two cable assembly types. For a fibre link between equipment, plug to plug cable assemblies are available, from short lengths up to 500 m or more. The long cable is placed inside a metallic reel for easy management or with the backpack option for fast field deployment. For a fibre link inside equipment, a receptacle can be placed on a wall or panel of the equipment and each simplex cable can be terminated with a standard connector such as ST, SC or LC. The other end can then be connected to an optical transceiver or receiver.
Cable assemblies are available with a choice of multimode or singlemode fibre with two or four channels.
