Harsh environment connectors

Fiber optic solutions for harsh environments: Built for extreme challenges


HUBER+SUHNER is the leading supplier of fiber optic interfaces for communication, transportation and industrial markets. Extremely robust and resistant components are required for demanding environmental conditions, such as in coastal areas, wind turbines, urban buildings and rural tower sites, where extreme temperatures, vibrations, salt spray, dirt and moisture are typical challenges. Robustness and reliability are therefore crucial for these fiber optic interfaces. In addition, connectors must be secure and easy to install.

 

Our connectors offer durability, protection against contamination and resistance to mechanical stresses such as vibration and shock. Designed and manufactured to industry standards, they ensure stable connections, making them essential for maintaining the integrity, reliability and safety of electrical systems in demanding applications such as automotive, aerospace and industrial environments.

Indoor connector versus harsh environment connector solutions

Indoor connector:


i.e.: LC, SC, E2000…

  • Uses the same connector on both sides.
  • The adapter includes the guiding of the ferrules with a sleeve.

Harsh environment connector:


i.e.: ODC, Q-ODC, FullAXS…

  • One side of the connector includes the sleeve (guiding of the ferrules)
  • Different genders to ensure proper mating.
