Product Details

Diamond has developed the new rugged, reliable, push-pull actuating HE-2000™ harsh environment connector with superior optical and mechanical performance for demanding applications.

Built around the innovative Diamond Multipurpose (DM) insert, the HE-2000™ connector incorporates four (4) termini using Diamond’s two-component ferrules, assembled with the company’s Active Core Alignment (ACA) process for unparalleled fiber core concentricity. Also available are electrical contacts for hybrid E/O applications.

The optical and electrical termini are protected from dust and water with the unique automatic protection shutter on the plug connector and a manual shutter on the bulkhead receptacle.

The HE-2000™ connector is available for MM, SM (PC/APC) and small-core single mode fiber, polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber, and other specialty fiber types.
Furthermore, Diamond splice-on termini can be field terminated with the Diamond ZEUS D50 HE fusion splicer, allowing for in-service repairs and special installations.

Features

• Automatic protection shutter on the plug connector (manual on the bulkhead receptacle)
• Harsh-environment resistant plasticshell, nylon with 25% fiber-glass reinforcement
• IP class: IP67
• Easy ferrule front-face access for cleaning & inspection
• Push-pull mechanism for easy mating and handling
• Mechanical and color coding upon request
• Electrical pins 20 AWG
• Easy termini insertion and removal for field termination and repair

Product Details

Diamond PS connector systems are designed for high power applications up to 3 Watts optical power for SM fibers (6W for E-2000™ PS). These have been developed to support the continuous rise of higher bitrates and longer transmission distances within DWDM technology. Diamond PS connectors are based on contacted expanded beam technology; where a section of graded index fiber is spliced as a collimating lens, which enlarges the beam diameter and reduces power density at the connector interface.Using Diamond Active Core Alignment (ACA) technology, we can achieve unrivaled low IL performance for the PS technology by aligning the fiber exit angle instead of the core eccentricity as Diamond usually does on SM fiber. This technology is applicable to most connectors interfaces, but due to safety issues Diamond suggests to use it on E-2000™ and F-3000™ connectors with integrated metal protection caps and shutters.

All of the features, users have come to expect from the E-2000™, F-3000™ and DMI family, are available on the PS version.

For more information about the technical specifications, please refer to the PS Optical Interfaces datasheet available on Diamond website

Features

• 16x reduced power density
• Low Insertion loss
• Ultra high polish for High return loss
• E-2000™ and F-3000™ with integrated metal protection caps and Shutters
• E-2000™ with interchangeable colour- and mechanical-coded frames and thumb-latches
• DMI: Minimal space requirement, PC board mount capability and excellent vibration resistance

Cables Assemblies and Adapters – X-Beam Std. & Fusion

Download the datasheet to review full specifications.

Product Details

The Diamond X-BEAM is a genderless tactical fiber optic connector which uses lens based expanded beam technology for ease of cleaning and mating in outdoor applications. The X-BEAM expands and collimates the transmission signal at the mating point. The expanded beam technology reduces the impact of both misalignment as well as endface contamination. The lens system encloses and protects the fiber end face allowing the connector to be quickly cleaned and mated in the field without special tools. Genderless construction helps simplify use under adverse conditions. The X-BEAM connector is an ideal choice for use within harsh environments such as field-deployable communications, mobile diagnostic units, avionics, security systems and much more. The Diamond X-BEAM 4 channels connector is terminated with Diamond’s homologated MM and SM cable (Customer cable assemblies avail-able upon request).

The X-BEAM FUSION incorporates a special insert with removable Fiber Optic termini which allow an easy field termination and repair, this thanks to a quick termini locking mechanism and the Diamond ZEUS D50 HE Fusion splicer, only for Multimode cable.

Features

• Rugged construction for high reliable optical connections
• IP 68 rated enclosure, IEC 60529 compliant
• Intermateable with connectors compliant with MIL-DTL83526/20/21
• High tolerance connector housings
• Easily mated, repeatable, low loss connections
