Robust EBM connectors enable the use of fiber optics even in harsh industrial environments and overcome previous issues with dirt, vibration, and maintenance.
Dirt, moisture, and vibrations were previously considered the natural enemies of fiber optics. Despite their undeniable advantages, this left a range of applications in production reserved for copper cabling. Equipped with robust connectors, the fast and lightweight connection technology can now also showcase its benefits in extreme environments—without compromising on the safety and reliability of the connections.
