Revolutionary Maintenance-Free Fiber Optic Interconnects

DIAMOND SA is excited to announce our new Expanded Beam (XB) lensed ferrule interconnect series to further strengthen our wide range of existing products. This revolutionary lensed-ferrule technology ensures reliable and maintenance-free optical connections with insensitivity to dirt and debris.

The fast-growing deployment of optical fiber is leading to the increasing use of optical connectors providing low insertion loss, ease-of-use and, more importantly, serviceability.
Connector contaminants are the leading cause of power loss and signal degradation, often requiring the continuous need for cleaning.
For this reason, Diamond has developed a modular, single-mode lensed-ferrule that is certain to minimize or combat these factors.

The XB ferrule has a compact form-factor that is designed to fit our standard connector bodies (i.e. E-2000™, MPO, MIL-38999, etc.).
The use of exceedingly precise components and unique assembly techniques results in a highly repeatable, low insertion loss ferrule, that opens new perspectives in the context of optical connections, where mating-cycles, dust insensitivity, reliability and low losses are required.
