MIL-DTL-83526 standard expanded beam fiber cables are increasingly popular in stage and production environments due to their exceptional durability and resilience against dust, dirt, liquids, and other contaminants that can compromise the performance of standard tactical cables. These ruggedized assemblies are now widely used in applications such as video extension systems, lighting rigs, Ethernet networks, and sound systems, where reliability in challenging conditions is essential.
To meet the needs of demanding production professionals, Camplex has developed the FIBERFOX XBG02XM X-TREME Series - a line of stage and field-ready 2-Channel OM3 Multimode cables designed for the toughest conditions. These assemblies feature Neutrik’s FIBERFOX EBC25 2-fiber extreme expanded beam hermaphroditic connectors, which are both cut-proof and rodent-resistant, ensuring robust performance in demanding outdoor environments.
At the heart of the FIBERFOX EBC is its lens system which always ensures reliable system functionality even in harsh environmental conditions like rain, cold, heat, dust, mud or below water. This is a welcome change to traditional fiber systems where environmental challenges can often inhibit signal transmission. FIBERFOX EBC connectors comply with IP68 (connected or disconnected) and can be cleaned easily and quickly by using clear water and a lint-free cloth only. Detailed measurements or the use of special cleaning tools are not necessary!
