Harsh environment connectors overview
HUBER+SUHNER is the leading supplier of fiber optic interfaces for harsh environments in communications, transportation and industry. These connectors are installed in many different environments, such as coastal areas, wind turbines, urban buildings and tower buildings in rural areas, where extreme temperatures, vibrations, salt fog, dirt and humidity are typical challenges. Therefore, ruggedness and reliability are critical for fiber optic interfaces. Furthermore, the interfaces must offer installation safety and must not cause installation errors - this is important to compensate for the disadvantages of working with unskilled installers.
FullAXS Family
FullAXS is a robust sealing system for Fiber-to-the-Antenna (FTTA) and industrial applications with positive mechanical feedback to operators when properly mated.
