Maintenance-free Expanded Beam interconnect solutions
The Diamond Expanded Beam (XB) connector series includes a range of non-contact lensed connectors. The Diamond patented XB lensed ferrule is based on the Expanded Beam principle and fits into a variety of connector housings due to its compact design.
Compact lensed-ferrule technology
Unlike conventional ferrules, the lens ferrule operates on the Expanded Beam principle, ensuring reliable and maintenance-free optical connections with insensitivity to dirt and debris. The use of exceedingly precise components and unique assembly techniques results in a highly repeatable, low insertion loss ferrule, that opens new perspectives in the context of optical connections, where mating-cycles, dust insensitivity, reliability and low losses are required.
Diamond offers the following solutions:
- Multichannel: 1 - 12 channels available
- Hybrid optical and electrical
- Compatible with standard connector housings (i.e. E-2000®, MPO, HE-2000®, MIL-38999 etc.)
Features of the Diamond XB series:
- Low Insertion Loss
- Non-contact connection
- Insensitive to dirt and debris
- High power reliability
- Low risk of damage
