EBP technology is an advanced fiber optic solution that uses a lens to expand the light beam. As a result, the light is transmitted error-free from one ferrule to the other via lenses. The ferrule comprises 12 individual lenses, which supports both singlemode and multimode applications and impresses with improved attenuation values compared to standard market solutions. It combines the advantages of classic ferrule solutions with those of lens-based approaches:
It is particularly suitable for applications in harsh environments, both indoors and outdoors, where reliable and interference-free data transmission is required.
ODU EBP systems are designed for up to 50,000 mating cycles, which guarantees a long-lasting connection.
The insertion loss is typically < 0.35 dB for singlemode and < 0.15 dB for multimode, which ensures efficient signal transmission.
The return loss is typically > 60 dB for singlemode and > 45 dB for multimode, which contributes to high signal quality.
Yes, ODU's EBP technology is suitable for both singlemode and multimode fibers.
The EBP systems are designed for a temperature range of -65 °C to +105 °C, which allows them to be used in various environments.
No cleaning is required under normal conditions. However, the connections are easy to clean if necessary, as there is no direct contact between the contact ends, which increases their resistance to soiling.
