PROCON Mini D-hole SLP

Expanded beam connector, mini-size, D-hole with 1-4 channels.

The PROCON Mini D-hole SLP (Super Low Profile) is the most compact expanded beam bulkhead receptacle on the market today. It is available in configurations with 1–4 channels and is designed for heavy-duty tactical applications.

This bulkhead receptacle features an extremely small installation footprint, enabling ODF integration in highly space-constrained installations. Its internally positioned locknut makes it less vulnerable to physical impact, and its high-performance strain relief provide the robustness required for demanding field deployments.

The PROCON Mini D-hole SLP is mounted on panels inside ODF enclosures. Because the locknut is positioned on the inside, it is protected against physical tampering. The Mini D-hole SLP is especially well suited for multi-connector installations, as it can be inserted from inside the panel and secured by tightening the locknut from the outside—often simplifying installation compared to internal ODF mounting.

The PROCON Mini D-hole SLP is used in military data centers, containers, converters, and switches, and in integrated ODF enclosures across various types of defense vehicles, air-defense units, and other extremely space-constrained applications. It can also be used in ruggedized computers, where its smaller footprint and enhanced security offer clear advantages.

How to clean the expanded beam connector?

This instruction covers the cleaning procedure for the expanded beam (EB) connectors and its optical interface (mating face, optical path lenses, EB insert and alignment features). These connectors are non-contacting; therefore, mating the connector without cleaning first typically will not cause permanent damage to the optic interface.

What is an Expanded Beam Connector?

The fiber optic technology allows a large amount of data to be transferred with low insertion loss even in harsh environments, without risk of damage to the fiber. The Expanded Beam Connector is used in several harsh environments such as mining, transportation systems, outside broadcasting, offshore and subsea, and in different types of industries.
