  1. X-BEAM Connector Up to 4 channels SM and MM optical connections based on Expanded Beam technology

  2. The product X-BEAM OLB (Optical Lenses Bulkhead) X-BEAM OLC (Optical Lenses connector)

  3. Expanded Beam Technology • The expanded beam technology uses an optical system consisting of lenses. The X-BEAM physically expands and collimates the transmission signal into an optical beam, which will then be reflected back onto the core of the receiving fiber. • This concept provides an easy alignment and makes the transmission less sensitive to particles of dirt on the lens surface

  4. Assembly and functioning

  5. Features of the SM version • Better IL values thanks to Diamond Technologies • Thanks to the patented Diamond ferrule technology and the core alignment with the crimping tools, the position of the light bundle is optimized, in order to obtain the best Insertion loss value. Active Core Alignment system Diamond Ferrule front face 8° APC

  6. e θ Features of the SM version • As a first step the ferrules are inserted into the metal holder and the positions of the light bundles are located, measuring eccentricity and angle (e ; Θ )

  7. Features of the SM version • Thanks to the 2nd crimping tool, the eccentricity parameters, which allow to improve the position of the luminous bundle and therefore decrease attenuation, are optimized In the second step .

  10. Features & Benefits • Rugged construction • Highly reliable optical connection • IP 67 rated enclosure, IEC 60529 compliant • Dust and water protection (1m depth, 35 min) • High tolerance connector housings • Easily mated, repeatable low loss connections • Integrated expanded beam lens system • Protects the fiber end-face, reduces influence of contamination and improves optical performances in harsh environment applications • Genderless design • Simplifies mating • Keyed self-aligning, connector housing • Helps when “blind mating” applications

  11. Typical application • Tactical applications • Navy and avionics optical networks • Field-deployable communications • Mobile diagnostic units • Security systems • Industrial machine networks

  12. Example of application and references • Diamond SA homologated a special version of the X-BEAM OLC/OLB connector with the Swiss army • 1-Channel SM connector with mechanical coding (guide post) • The coding operates via a coding-pin and coding-hole with 4 possible codes • The coding system enables a conformant connection system
