What customers say
Professional users highly value the Camplex XTREME cable for its exceptional durability and reliability in demanding broadcast and industrial settings. The Expanded Beam technology, featuring a noncontact lensing system, is a key benefit, drastically reducing failures caused by dirt and repeated connection cycles. This design minimizes field cleaning, ensuring faster setups and fewer signal interruptions during critical operations. While the initial cost is higher, customers agree the superior longevity and reduced maintenance offer excellent long-term value. Performance remains flawless, even in harsh environments. Users accept the inherent bulk as a necessary trade-off for unparalleled protection and guaranteed connectivity.
Know before you buy
Expanded beam technology uses lenses to expand the light signal across the connector interface, making the connection significantly less sensitive to dust, dirt, and debris compared to standard physical contact connectors. This ensures reliable performance in outdoor environments where cleaning fiber ends is often impractical.
Yes, the Neutrik FIBERFOX connectors are hermaphroditic, meaning they are designed to mate directly with each other. You can daisy-chain multiple cables together without needing separate couplers or gender changers.
While it is designed for demanding outdoor production environments, it is primarily built for temporary, high-traffic use. Its flame-retardant PUR jacket and rodent-resistant construction provide excellent durability, but it is best suited for applications where the cable needs to be deployed and retrieved repeatedly.
An IP68 rating indicates that the connectors are fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand submersion in water. This protection applies even when the connectors are unmated, providing peace of mind when working in wet or dusty conditions.
Yes, the Camplex CMX-XBN04XM is fully compatible with the MIL-DTL-83526 standard. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with other systems that adhere to this military-grade specification.
The aramid yarn provides high tensile strength and cable retention, which prevents the fiber strands from stretching or breaking when the cable is pulled or under tension. This is essential for maintaining signal integrity during the rigors of setup and teardown.
