Description
SO4L Expanded Beam Hermaphroditic Fiber Plug
The SO4L is a rugged expanded-beam fiber plug engineered for demanding industrial and field environments. Its hermaphroditic design lets male and female plugs mate directly without couplers, simplifying system architecture and deployment. The plug is supplied pre-assembled with fiber cable in various lengths and packages for fast, plug‑and‑play installation.
Key Features
- Hermaphroditic expanded-beam design — direct mate of plugs eliminates separate couplers.
- IP68 rating in non‑protected condition for reliable performance in harsh, wet environments.
- Durable lifecycle — rated for >10,000 mating cycles with no routine maintenance required.
- Easy to clean — maintenance-friendly without special tools.
- Available in single‑mode and multi‑mode configurations to suit different optical links.
Mechanical & Packaging
- Connection type: Expanded beam fiber plug (pre‑assembled with cable)
- Service life: >10,000 mating cycles
- Packaging: Plugs are supplied pre-assembled with fiber optic cable; no separate connectors included. Accessories are not included by default.
Ideal Applications: Communications and data links that require a rugged, low‑maintenance optical connection in harsh or outdoor environments — e.g., industrial networks, mobile/portable systems, temporary field installations, and other applications where quick, reliable mating and unmating is essential.
The SO4L combines expanded‑beam robustness, hermaphroditic convenience, and field‑ready materials to deliver a low‑maintenance, IP68‑rated 4‑fiber plug suitable for both single‑mode and multi‑mode optical deployments.
