Description
SO2L-SO2L-* Expanded Beam Hermaphroditic Fiber Plug
The SO2L-SO2L-* is an expanded-beam, hermaphroditic fiber plug designed for robust, low‑maintenance optical connections in harsh or industrial environments. It is available for both single‑mode and multi‑mode fiber and ships pre‑assembled with a 5 mm TPU‑jacketed cable containing two fibers.
Detailed description and key benefits
- Connector type & mating: Expanded‑beam fiber plug with hermaphroditic design — male and female plugs mate directly with each other (no coupler required), simplifying system design and field use.
- Optical performance: Single‑mode insertion loss: normally 1.5 dB per connection (max 2.5 dB). Multi‑mode insertion loss: normally 1.0 dB per connection (max 2.0 dB). Optical wiring conforms to ISO/IEC 11801.
- Cable specifics: Supplied pre‑assembled on a 5 mm cable (TPU outer jacket), two fibers per cable; fiber core diameters: SM 9 µm, MM 50 µm; cladding 125 µm; minimum bending radius 5 cm; weight ~30 kg/km for the 5 mm cable.
- Durability & environmental: Achieves IP68 rating in non‑protected condition. Service life exceeds 10,000 mating cycles with no routine maintenance required. Operating temperature range: –40 °C to +75 °C.
- Materials & construction: Aluminium housing with electroplating finish, stainless steel insert, and silicone‑rubber bushing for sealing and resilience.
- Field friendliness: Easy to clean without special tools. Plugs are delivered pre‑assembled with cable (the plug is not sold separately) and require no additional accessories by default.
When to choose the SO2L-SO2L-*
- Ideal for industrial communications, outdoor or portable systems where environmental sealing (IP68), long mating life and simple, tool‑free cleaning are priorities.
- Suitable where a hermaphroditic connection simplifies logistics and reduces the number of distinct parts required on site.
The SO2L-SO2L-* delivers a rugged, hermaphroditic expanded‑beam solution for single‑mode and multi‑mode fiber applications, combining IP68 environmental sealing, >10,000 mating cycles, easy field cleaning, and straightforward pre‑assembled cable delivery.
