CTOS

Expanded Beam Connectors

CTOS and CTOL series are robust optical connectors for rapid deployment of high-speed transmission links under harsh environments. The hermaphroditic mating makes it possible to “daisy chain” cable assemblies without using any interconnect adapters. The specific lens design guarantees a large beam diameter and a low loss connection, less sensitive to dirt and dust. A specific front design and ergonomic keys ensure blind mating. The flat protective window mounted On shock absorbers provides an easy to clean surface for improved performances and protection. CTOS and CTOL harnesses are easily and cost effective field maintainable with the FTOS splice kit.
