Ultra-Robust Outdoor Connector (ODC) system to reach more sockets

Tyco Electronics has introduced Outdoor Connector (ODC) fibre-optic connectors and cable assemblies, increasing availability in the market of this de-facto standard connector interface for outdoor radio equipment such as cellular base stations and Fibre-to- the-Antenna infrastructure.

The ODC system withstands severe environmental conditions and supports highspeed data transmission with practically zero losses. Tyco Electronics has introduced this product range following its agreement with the HUBER+SUHNER Group, which developed ODC technology, and will provide ODC connectors and cable assemblies to customers globally. Identical quality standards are maintained, and the two companies intend to introduce further ODC products jointly as well as developing new applications.

The ODC product range incorporates precision-machined rugged brass housings with two or four optical terminations in both single-mode and multi-mode fibres. The environmentally-sealed, fixed and free connectors are supported by a range of highly crush-resistant cables displaying high tensile strength.
