•Easy to use •Easy to terminate •Easy to clean 8D ELIO range is 38999 sIII circular type connectors with insert for ELIO optical contact. It is used by Airbus as a standard on aircraft programs like A380, A350, A330 for all the communication using fiber optic. The flight proven ELIO® fiber optics termini are designed around a robust 2.5mm ceramic ferrule. The assembly is as easy an ST connector. The insertion and retention inside the connector is ensured by a bayonet locking mechanism without any special tool. The termini integrates a seal inside the rear boot, thus the connection is sealed from the rear side without a backshell or a grommet. The 8D ELIO® range covers layout from 1 to 24 ways in all type of material shell. Each cavity can be upgraded with the brand-new ELIOBEAM expanded beam ELIO® version. In the female insert, the termini are flushed to the insert surface, thus making easy the fiber optical end-face inspection and cleaning, compared to the traditional dust collecting socket design. The same termini part number can adapt tight or loose structure cable. •Fiber optic termini keyed for better vibration withstanding and optical performances repeatability •Multimode contact - Insertion Loss (IL): •< 0.3dB over 95% of the samples as per EN2591-601 •< 0.7dB maximum on 100% of the samples after tests •Singlemode contact - Insertion Loss (IL): •< 0.5dB over 95% of the samples as perEN2591-601 •< 0.9dB maximum on 100% of the samples after tests
