Specialist connector distributor Lane Electronics has announced availability of the newly released Cinch-Fibreco JCON series. The JCON Junior Bulkhead Expanded Beam Adapter is designed to simplify panel-mounted fibre-optic connectivity by enabling standard patchcords to be used between the adapter and the transceiver.
Until now, high-performance expanded beam connector panel adapters have not offered the same straightforward installation approach available with LC and similar fibre-optic connectors. Connecting an expanded beam connector to a transceiver typically required a custom cable assembly, made to the required length and fitted with the required connector types.
Key benefits
The new Cinch-Fibreco JCON adapter supports straightforward panel-mounted installation and connects to the transceiver using a standard, off-the-shelf LC/LC patchcord. This gives designers greater flexibility as system requirements evolve, since cable lengths can be adjusted simply by selecting an alternative patchcord. It also simplifies production configuration by allowing different standard product models to be supported through patchcord changes, while enabling fast field replacement if cabling is damaged, with no termination required.ppliers.
