Waterproof Optical Connector (Waterproof WB Series)
This water-proof optical connector is protection class IP67, meaning that standard optical connector can be used in places such as outdoor and dusty environments.
The connection part has excellent water-proof properties; connection and removal can be easily conducted outside the housing.
Inspection is also easy to conduct; therefore inspection does not interfere with assembling parts or changing parts in the housing, making it also easy to handle.
Features
- A standard optical connector and a standard optical adapter are embedded in the plug and receptacle with a water-proof structure.
- A standard optical connector is used in the receptacle; thus replacement work is simple if there is an internal connector failure.
- The plug in which a standard optical connector is embedded can be attached and detached with a single motion because of the receptacle (standard optical adapter embedded) mounted on the housing in advance and the bayonet lock structure.
- All products comply with RoHS.
