The connectors are terminated using an epoxy-polish ferrule termination process with standard fibre optic termination tools and equipment. The terminated ferrules are simply inserted into the expanded beam housing and fixed in place via a spring and cover-plate. Ferrule alignment to the lenses is achieved automatically by the unique optical arrangement. In the event of the connector suffering severe damage in use, the connector design enables replacement of the expanded beam insert, connector front body and grip ring without the need to re-terminate the fibres. Typically, an expanded beam insert can be replaced within 30 minutes in field conditions. The Junior Expanded Beam connectors offer high performance, flexibility and cost effectiveness.
