opticalCON Chassis Connectors
The opticalCON system is based on LC-Duplex connectors but eliminates its weakness and guarantees a safe, dust protected and rugged connection. The built-in dust shutter ensures minimal maintenance. The sealing gasket provides color coding and IP protection. Cable and chassis connectors are dust and water resistant per IP65 when mated.
Being compatible to conventional LC connectors, the opticalCON DUO offers the choice of using cost effective LC cables or the rugged opticalCON cable assembly for mobile applications. The opticalCON DUO is the ideal solution for equipment connections and system integration offering LC compatibility on chassis connector front and rear.
The chassis connectors act as a “feed-through” allowing simplified installations by connecting conventional LC connectors on the rear. It is built in the standard D size shell and features an automatic sealing cover for maximum dust and dirt protection and a Push-Pull locking mechanism for safe connection.
Features:
- Ruggedized and dirt-protected fiber optic connection system
- IP65 ingress protection in mated condition with SCDP-*
- Laser protective metal shutter seals dust proof with two-component rubber gasket
Applications:
- Video on diagnostic machines and surgical assistance machines, transmitting/distributing video throughout facilities
- Wheelchairs, portable medical devices
- Medical devices, hospital beds
- Ventilators, monitoring systems
- Foot switches
