Eaton's ELIO AQ adaptors enable the use of ELIO fiber optic contact technology in all standard ARINC 600 and 38999 series III connectors with insert cavities size 8. Many optical / electrical hybrid layouts are available.
Our Souriau line of flight-proven ELIO fiber optics termini are designed around a robust 2.5mm ceramic ferrule. The assembly is as easy an ST connector. The insertion and retention inside the connector is ensured by a bayonet locking mechanism without any special tool. The termini integrates a seal inside the rear boot, thus the connection is sealed from the rear side without a backshell or a grommet. The 8D ELIO range covers layouts from 1 to 24 ways in all types of material shell.
With the ELIO AQ fiber optic adaptor, each cavity can be also upgraded with the ELIOBEAM expanded beam ELIO version.
The same termini part number can adapt tight or loose structure cable.
The fiber optic termini is keyed for better vibration withstanding and optical performances repeatability | ||
