ABOUT LUX-BEAM®

The new requirements for Avionics and Field communication systems demand for always higher amount of data, HD video transmission and higher bandwidth to be transmitted. Fiber optic technology is the technology of choice for those requirements. With over 20 years of production of fiber optics expanded beam solutions, Amphenol introduces the LUX-BEAM ™ Single Expanded beam termini. A solution to upgrade the optical physical contact technology to an optical contacless technology. LUX-BEAM™ is easy to clean, less sensitive to pollution by dust or debris. The contactless coupling of LUX-BEAM ™ is not subject to degradation of performances resulting from friction of optical surfaces as it usual is on traditional butt joint termini. With its patented pin to socket realignment feature, LUX-BEAM™ is compatible with connectors from different suppliers and provides an efficient adjustment to tolerances during mating. Per design, LUX-BEAM™ is as easy to install.
