Qmini 90° Quick Connect Expanded Beam Connector
The QPC Qmini 90° Quick Connect Expanded Beam Connector has been designed to the requirements of MIL-PRF-83526, with a specialty 90° body and backshell designed specifically for use in harsh environments with tight spaces experiencing difficult cable management.
The hermaphroditic design allows assemblies to be daisy chained together without adapters, allowing for flexibility in system design.
The expanded beam connector uses a spherical lens to collimate the signal at many times the original diameter.
This technology makes the connector very resistant to shock and environmental issues, minimizing the effects of dust, debris and mechanical vibration.
Because the fiber system is non-contact, the connector life is in excess of 3,000 mating cycles, providing a high quality, rugged environment solution.
