HxMA Series

The OPTOKON HxMA series, „Expanded Beam“ connector is designed for connection of the nodes of tactical network by the help of cables with optical fibers. The used expanded beam technology preservers all advantages of signals transmission through the optical lines in field harsh environmental conditions.

HxMA expanded beam technology, the precise optical alignment system offers resistance to water, mud, dust, oil, and other contaminants. The HxMA hermaphroditic coupling removes the need for adaptors and separate male and female connectors. Hermaphroditic housings enable rapid deployment, creating low-loss single mode, daisy-chained links.

In addition to military optical networks the HxMA is suited for a vast array of applications, like heavy industry connections, petrochemical application, broadcasting temporary optical lines.
