The PROCON Junior Plug is a junior-size expanded beam plug based on Micropol’s world-class FALCON technology, available with 1–4 fiber channels and designed in accordance with MIL-DTL-83526/20C. The plug is designed for heavy-duty tactical applications.

This plug delivers high data rates within a standard military footprint. It mates directly with tactical fiber-optic cables fitted with other junior-size expanded beam bulkhead receptacles, and is equipped with high-performance strain relief and a protective boot, providing the robustness required for demanding field deployments.

The PROCON Junior Plug can be daisy-chained into extended cable lengths suitable for temporary field communications, and its rugged design makes it durable even in harsh conditions. The plug is often supplied on a cable reel or backpack system with fiber-optic cable spooled on a drum.

The PROCON Junior Plug’s combination of up to four independent channels and 10 Gbit/s bandwidth per channel enables efficient data separation and multi-sensor data streams within a single rugged tactical connector footprint. It is also ideal for communications in industrial, shipping, and offshore applications with exposed outdoor connector points.

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?

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.
