EUROLENS and euMicron lens connectors from Amphenol Precision Optics are primarily used in demanding military applications, including radar and air defense systems as well as various vehicle platforms. These connectors have also proven themselves in extreme civilian environments such as mining, offshore, and broadcast technology. They impress with their exceptional robustness, reliability, and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. EUROLENS and euMicron lens connectors are the ideal solution wherever reliable high-speed data transmission under extreme conditions is essential. Advantages of Amphenol lens connectors at a glance: - The hermaphroditic design allows maximum flexibility in field connections, as no defined plug orientation is required. - The expanded light beam ensures low-loss optical transmission and consistently high signal quality. - The robust housing allows thousands of mating cycles, even under extreme conditions, supporting long-lasting, low-maintenance operation. Expanded Beam Technology Amphenol Precision Optics lens connectors use a spherical lens to expand the light beam to many times its diameter. This technology makes the connector particularly resistant to dust, dirt, vibration, and other adverse environmental influences. Since the lenses do not touch, the connector achieves a very long service life with at least 3,000 mating cycles. Technical Details and Dimensions EUROLENS The fiber optic lens connectors EUROLENS comply with the military standard MIL-DTL-83526-20/21. They are mechanically and optically compatible with corresponding connectors from other manufacturers. They feature high-precision alignment technology and superior, low-loss optical performance required for high-speed fiber optic communication. Unique advantages of EUROLENS connectors, available in 2, 4, 8, and 12 channel versions, include their mutual compatibility. For example, a 12-channel connector can easily be connected to an existing 2-channel system. Additionally, the EUROLENS lens connector is also available in a single-channel version. In addition to the standard version made of hard-anodized aluminum, all connectors and bulkhead variants are also available in marine bronze and stainless steel.
