Broadcaster engineers, stadium venue techs, live event production teams and system integrators are among those joining the migration to expanded beam cables from Camplex. Expanded Beam systems offer less down-time as a result of dirt and contamination while offering the same rugged cable core in other tactical offerings.
The Camplex CMX-X1Q02MR QMini series is a 2-Fiber OM4 Multimode tactical cable built into a cable reel and featuring QPC's QMini Expanded Beam Fiber Optic Connectors, which are designed to meet the requirements of MIL-PRF-83526/20 & /21 Military Specifications. This cable is designed for peak performance in harsh environments utilizing non-physical contact fiber optic termini that are fully sealed behind an anti-reflective coated ball lens. This lens expands the beam to many times its original size aiding optical alignment and minimizing the effects of dust, debris, vibration, and other environmental conditions. Because there is no wear on the optical surfaces / end faces of the termini during use, the QMini connector has excellent durability, in excess of 3,000 mating cycles, providing a long service life interconnect solution.
The Camplex CMX-X1Q02MR QMini is a hermaphroditic connector allowing multiple plug-to-plug cable assemblies to be combined to extend the length of the system. These connectors are available with two or four channels and with single mode or multimode lenses. Not only are these cables perfect for broadcast video and audio applications, they are also widely used in Oil & Gas, Mining, Factory Automation, Heavy Equipment, Marine, Medical, Military, Aerospace, and Defense for Communications and Sensing Applications.
The cable itself is a MIL-tactical cable that is ideal for use in harsh environments where deployment and retrieval for reuse are required. It's incredibly strong yet very lightweight for ease of transportation and deployment. Its OM4 core is a laser-optimized for the highest bandwidth applications in 10 Gb/s, 40 Gb/s, and 100 Gb/s transmission.
