High Performance Sealing Assemblies (FSA)
Example: FSA2-4-2-PG2AT-2000/1500-906/ST
Conax Technologies has adapted our proven soft sealant capability to include the ability to compress a soft sealant material around the outside diameter of a fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable is encased within a rugged stainless steel sheath that protects the cable from damage during the sealing process. This sheath is then placed through a sealing gland. This process allows the fiber optic cable to be sealed without the use of epoxies and with minimal out-gassing.
The fiber optic feedthrough sub-assembly can be used with various Conax Technologies sealing glands, including multiple hole fittings and can be adapted for special applications.
Features:
- Wide range of connector terminations: ST, SMA, FC, FC/APC, FC/PC and SC/APC
- Standard fiber core sizes: 8.3, 62.5, 100, 200, 400, 600, 700 micron & larger
- Adaptable to customer-supplied fiber
- Can seal outside jacket diameters from 400 to 1040 microns
- Protection Tubing: Standard furcation tube (black in color) is constructed of a polypropylene inner tube with a dried Kevlar¨ Aramid yarn strength member and a 3.0 mm outer polyethylene jacket.
- Models FSA2 and FSA4 are available with a low-outgassing furcation tube. Please specify FSA2B or FSA4B for this feature.
Benefits:
- Rugged construction
- Fiber optic cable is protected inside the sheath
- Uses low outgassing materials
