The innovative Expanded Beam Performance (EBP) technology, already available in the robust AMC® Series T military connectors, is now also available for the MINI-SNAP® Series K, MEDI-SNAP® and both the ODU-MAC® Silver-Line and White-Line products.
As a non-contact lens technology, Expanded Beam Performance products offer a game-changing interface for fibre-optic systems, with numerous advantages, including low attenuation, virtually no cleaning or maintenance requirements and a long service life.
These advantages make EBP the ideal solution for applications where maximum reliability and performance are required.
Future-proof EBP technology impresses with optimum performance
Low Attenuation Levels
Withmaximum signal quality and low latency, EBP solutions achieve attenuation levels that are even lower than the outstanding values of conventional physical contact (PC) solutions.
| Typical | Max / Min | ||
| Insertion loss | Singlemode (SM) | < 0.35 dB | < 0.7 dB (max.) |
| Multimode (MM) | < 0.15 dB | < 0.3 dB (max.) | |
| Return loss | Singlemode (SM) | > 60 dB | ≥ 55 dB (min.) |
| Multimode (MM) | > 45 dB | ≥ 35 dB (min.) |
No Cleaning or Maintenance Required
Ferrule cleaning is only necessary in the case of extreme soiling. Under normal conditions no maintenance is required, the maximum service life can be achieved without a single cleaning cycle
Long Service Life
Contactless transmission means no wear on the contact elements, giving at least 50,000 mating cycles.
AMC Series T Expanded Beam Performance.
The existing combination consists of EBP technology and a robust circular connector for harsh environments.
With its innovative 3-in-1 locking system, non-reflective surface and high resistance to external influences, the AMC Series T has already proven its worth as an EBP solution for military use.
MINI-SNAP Series K Expanded Beam Performance
The classic circular metal connector, characterized by safety and flexibility. With a well-proven push-pull locking system, environmental protection to IP68 and the smallest 12-lens plug on the market.
MEDI-SNAP Expanded Beam Performance
Made of high-quality plastic, the Medi-Snap is up to 75% lighter than comparable products. Its features make it ideal for mobile applications, especially in the medical sector.
ODU-MAC Silver-Line & White-Line EBP module
Integration into a modular connector enables the hybrid use of EBP technology with other media such as electrical signals or air and fluids. The robust interfaces enable automatic or manual docking with a high number of mating cycles.
