F960 Expanded Beam Connector

Fiber Optic Connectors

F960 expanded beam fiber optic connectors are fully compatible with

other Eurocom type II legacy connectors. Designed specifically for military

tactical communications, the F960 connector is available with 2, 4, 8 or

12 multimode optical channels and features a unique “pinless” alignment

technique providing flat, easily cleanable mating surfaces.

The connectors are terminated using an epoxy-polish ferrule termination

process with standard fiber optic termination tools and equipment. The

terminated ferrules are simply inserted into the

expanded beam housing and fixed in place via a spring and cover-plate.

Ferrule alignment to the lenses is achieved automatically by the unique

optical arrangement developed and patented by Cinch-Fibreco.

In the event of the connector suffering severe damage in use, the

connector design enables replacement of the expanded beam insert /

connector front body and grip ring without the need to re-terminate the

fibers. Typically, an expanded beam insert can be replaced within 30

minutes in field conditions.

The F960 expanded beam connectors offer high performance, flexibility

and cost effectiveness, combined with a simple termination process

allowing rapid in-field termination and repair where compatibility with

legacy products is essential.
