Sealed fiber-optic connector

The Envirotite fiber-optic connector for singlemode or multimode fiber is for use in environments where it is likely that the connector will be submerged in liquids or exposed to harsh environments. The ferrules and alignment sleeves are made of zirconia, the connector and adapter bodies are fabricated from 316L stainless steel, and the o-rings and seals are made from Viton and Tefzel. Environmental testing performed successfully on the connector includes thermal cycling (-55° to +85°C), temperature/humidity (40°C, 95% RH), pressure (1520 torr), immersion in water with indicator dye, immersion in pH 11 fluid, and cable retention (25#).
