Fibre-optic connectors offer 0.06dB insertion losses
For designers who need to terminate optical cable in harsh or challenging environments, Lane Electronics has introduced a fibre-optic connector solution. The Positronic Optik-D series is a hybrid connector system which allows designers to incorporate power, signal, coax and now optical contacts in a single mixed density, D-Subminiature format.
Designed to be used with the Lane Electronics’ Combo D-Subminiature family, the fibre-optic connector conforms to ARINC 801. According to the company, Optik-D connectors are more cost effective than D38999 or ARINC 600-based systems.
Featuring a typical insertion loss figure of just 0.06dB, designers can usually specify an LED laser source rather than a more costly solid state laser since less optical power is required. A proprietary design based on a tight tolerance guide pin and bushing, which jointly keep the fibre cores precisely aligned, facilitates this impressive low loss performance.
The connector accepts cables with a diameter from 1.6 to 2.8mm (0.065-0.110"). Lane is also able to supply a range of accessories and tooling.
