Product range
Fischer FiberOptic Series
The FiberOptic range features a wide choice of body styles to fulfill all your integration needs. Pre-cabled solutions provide maximum performance and time saving.
The single fiber optic connector (FO1) is a miniature, rugged connectivity solution especially designed to meet the growing market need for higher data transmission rates over long distance, while reducing space and guaranteeing performance. For example, it can be integrated into custom assemblies for instrumentation and sensing applications.
- Available with one (FO1), two (FO2) or four (FO4) optical channels
- Multimode with UPC polishing (Ultra Physical Contact)
- Single mode with either UPC or 8° APC polishing (Angled Physical Contact)
- Available with one (FO1), two (FO2) or four (FO4) optical channels
- Multimode with UPC polishing (Ultra Physical Contact)
- Single mode with either UPC or 8° APC polishing (Angled Physical Contact)
The quality, performance and reliability of the rugged Fischer FiberOptic Series make it a versatile solution for harsh-environment applications used to efficiently transfer large amounts of data in industries such as transportation & mobility, energy, pro audio-video, construction & infrastructure, factory automation, medical devices, etc. With its IP68 sealing level and miniature design, our single fiber optic connector can be taken down to as deep as 1,000 feet (300 m) under water for military missions or scientific explorations conducted by unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV), for example when they require a gigabit link to the surface for the handling and transfer of HD video data in real time. Many new medical devices depend on fiber optics. The technology is used for light conduction and illumination, flexible bundling and laser delivery systems, such as endoscopy equipment.
As a further example of its robustness, the Fischer FiberOptic Series is used in scanning systems that resist vibrations, weather conditions, temperature extremes and chemicals to monitor and test railway network, and to quickly identify where maintenance work is needed. Within trains, optical connectivity solutions also help meet passengers’ growing demands for high-quality infotainment and stable Internet connections. Another use-case field is fiber optic sensing, which detects changes in temperature, strain, and other parameters thanks to the physical properties of light as it travels along the fiber.
