Fischer Extends FiberOptic Solutions
F

ischer Connectors, a worldwide
leader in push-pull circular
connectors, has extended its
Fischer FiberOptic Series with
a new and revolutionary hybrid
connector.
After the successful launch of the
Fischer FiberOptic Series with two
(FO2) and four (FO4) ﬁbers at the
end of 2012, Fischer Connectors
now offers a solution with two

Fischer FiberOptic
Series Hybrid offers data
and power transmission

68

ﬁbre channels and two electrical
contacts (FOH 2-2) in one small
high performance connector.
The new Fischer FiberOptic
Series hybrid connector is perfectly
suitable for broadcast applications.
The number of ﬁbre optic connecting
solutions in the television and movie
industry is increasing drastically.
The unique aspect of the brand
new Fischer FiberOptic Series
hybrid connector is that both ﬁbre
and electrical contacts are now
offered in a single rugged connecting
solution, allowing both power and
data to be transmitted
ﬂawlessly through
one connector.
Broadcast
application
designers
can take
advantage
of this key
feature, as they
only need one hybrid connector
instead of one ﬁbre optic and one
electrical connector.
This saves space, money, design
and installation time, and offers
premium optical performance in

all environments, indoor or outdoor.
Similar to the Fischer FiberOptic
Series FO2 and FO4, the hybrid
FOH 2-2 beneﬁts from a monoblock mate adapter for easy access
to ferrules giving the possibility
for easy field cleaning and
maintenance. Other key features
of the FOH 2-2 are:
* IP68
mated
&
IP67
unmated Ingress Protection
(Norm IEC 60529);
* Extreme
Environment
FiberOptic
Solution
(Norm IEC 61753-1 Cat. E);
* Fibre contacts: SM & MM optical
ﬁbres, UPC & APC Polishing;
* Electrical contacts: current rating
10 [A] (Norm IEC 60512-5-2-5b)
and rated voltage 400 [V] r.m.s.
(Norm EIA-364-20-B and IEC
60512-3-5b);
* Push-pull easy mating plugs &
receptacles;
* Optional gas tight panel receptacles
(IP68 or <10-6 mbar l/s).
"The hybrid version is an additional
product of our Fischer FiberOptic
Series", says Dominique Glauser,
CEO of the Fischer Connectors
Group. "With this new product,

we extend our response to a
high demanding market for high
quality fibre optic applications
and solutions."
