KLOTZ F8UM16A003

• KLOTZ SmartBeam, hermaphrodite lens d-series chassis connector with MM optical channels and SC/UPC connectors with physical fiber contact
• ultra-low attenuation: < 0.5 dB / SmartBeam
• undirected connection technology with > 3000 mating cycles / SmartBeam
• no physical fibre contact – the connector thus features long-term stable insertion loss, IP67 rating, resistant to dust and dirt / SmartBeam
• compatible with international standards and systems such as Fiberfox, FibreCo HMA, Stratos, Optocore, Eurolens EBC, Optocon, FibreCast™ or MIL-DTL-83526/20 connectors and MIL-DTL-83526/21 bulkheads / SmartBeam

• 10 Gbit/s transmission up to 550 m
• very low attenuation < 0.7 dB/km (1300 nm) < 2.3 dB/km (850 nm); effective modal bandwidth (EMB) ≥ 4700 MHz-km @850nm
• extremely rugged and highly flexible, suitable for outdoor use, ideal for the most challenging situations
• great mechanical strength, strong resistance to shear pressure, narrow bending ranges possible and low kinking sensitivity, strain relief due to aramid yarns

Our SmartBeam OCTO is a world’s first – the very first 8x expanded beam connector. A flood of customer requests inspired us to get to work on its development – and here’s the result. The rugged housing (IP 67 rating) makes the cable impervious to harsh conditions and contamination. Its eight lenses deliver transfer rates of 8 x 10 GB/s! And of course we can supply the matching cable – our new Fiberflex ULTRA F8UM11. Its eight fibres (8 x 50/125 µm, multimode) have a 500 μm primary coating und 900 µm tight buffered fibre layers for optimum protection, yet the cable has an external diameter of only 6.4 mm! Winding and drum storage are therefore child’s play even at extreme temperatures. The FiberExplorer is a matching breakout box that complements the cable and connectors to create a complete system. This is the first 8x FO system to be launched on the market, and we’ve already supplied complete systems for two outside broadcast vans, which are now in use in programme production. The complete system comprises cable drum, pigtail and FiberExplorer. The FiberExplorer offers connections for the SmartBeam OCTO and 4 x SC and 4 x LC / Neutrik OpticalCon outputs. The SmartBeam OCTO – taking giant strides into the digital future!
