Know before you buy
The EBC25 uses expanded beam technology, which collimates the light signal into a larger beam. This makes the connection significantly more resistant to dust, mud, and moisture compared to physical contact connectors, which are highly sensitive to even microscopic debris.
Yes, the connectors are hermaphroditic, meaning they are genderless and can be daisy-chained directly to one another without the need for separate couplers or adapters.
Yes, the cable is designed for harsh environments and features an IP68-rated connector, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and immersion in water. The PUR flame-retardant jacket also provides excellent durability against environmental wear.
No, one of the primary benefits of the expanded beam design is that the fiber faces are easy to clean using standard methods like a lint-free cloth or compressed air, without requiring specialized fiber inspection or cleaning kits.
This cable is built for extreme conditions and can operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -46°C to +71°C, making it suitable for both arctic and desert production environments.
No, this is a pure fiber optic cable assembly and does not carry electrical power. You will need separate power infrastructure for any devices connected via this cable.
