ODU Connectors Expands Fibre-optic Product Portfolio
By Nick Harper, Managing Director, ODU-UK Ltd T
he innovative Expanded Beam Performance (EBP) technology, already available in the robust AMC Series T military connectors, is now also available for the
MINI-SNAP Series K, MEDI-SNAP and both the ODU-MAC Silver-Line and White-Line products. As a non-contact lens technology, Expanded Beam Performance
products offer a game-changing interface for fibre-optic systems, with numerous advantages, including low attenuation, virtually no cleaning or maintenance requirements and a long service life. Tese advantages make EBP the ideal solution for applications where maximum reliability and performance are required.
Future-proof EBP technology impresses with optimum performance • Low attenuation levels With maximum signal quality and low latency, EBP solutions achieve attenuation levels that are even lower than the outstanding values of conventional physical contact (PC) solutions. Typical Max / Min
Insertion loss Singlemode (SM)
Return loss Singlemode (SM)
< 0.35 dB Multimode (MM) < 0.15 dB > 60 dB Multimode (MM) > 45 dB
< 0.7 dB (max.) < 0.3 dB (max.)
≥ 55 dB (min.) ≥ 35 dB (min.)
• No cleaning or maintenance required Ferrule cleaning is only necessary in the case of extreme soiling. Under normal conditions no maintenance is required, the maximum service life can be achieved without a single cleaning cycle.
• Long service life Contactless transmission means no wear on the contact elements, giving at least 50,000 mating cycles.

ODU-MAC expanded beam performance module
MEDI-SNAP expanded beam performance
MINI-SNAP series K expanded beam performance
With its innovative 3-in-1 locking system, non-reflective
surface and high resistance to external influences, the AMC Series T has already proven its worth as an EBP solution for military use.
MINI-SNAP Series K Expanded Beam Performance The classic circular metal connector, characterized by safety and flexibility. With a well-proven push-pull locking system, environmental protection to IP68 and the smallest 12-lens plug on the market.
MEDI-SNAP Expanded Beam Performance Made of high-quality plastic, the Medi-Snap is up to 75 per cent lighter than comparable products. Its features make it ideal for mobile applications, especially in the medical sector.
ODU-MAC Silver-Line & White-Line EBP module Integration into a modular connector enables the hybrid use of EBP technology with other media such as electrical signals or air and fluids. The robust interfaces enable automatic or manual docking with a high number of mating cycles.
More Solutions ODU now offers solutions for an even wider range of industries and applications. Further information about Expanded Beam
