Deutsch RSC Connectors
Keywords: Connectors, fibre optics, Corrosion resistance
UK connector manufacturer, Deutsch Ltd, has introduced the RSC (Ruggedised Singleway Connector) range of high performance fibre optic connectors.
Manufactured from Arcap for corrosion resistance, the RSC range claims a rugged construction incorporating environmental seating and an anti-vibration coupling mechanism. The optical contact is sprung loaded and common to both plug and receptacle to maintain physical contact even under severe shock or vibration.
The RSC range is suitable for both single mode and multimode applications, and features easily accessible fibre faces for cleaning purposes. Typical applications include aircraft, military vehicles, naval systems, motorsport, industrial machinery and other harsh environments where reliable optical performance is critical.
The RSC range features a choice of six alternative shell keyway orientations, providing protection from inadvertent mis-mating. A full range of connector accessories is also available.
