Optical 12,000 Meter Connector

Teledyne Impulse-PDM’s 5135/5175 Optical Connectors Utilize Proven Standard Ferrule Technology and Are Available for Multi-Mode or Single-Mode Operation.

The connectors are manufactured in Titanium Ti 6Al-4V, which is electro-polished to remove surface contamination, thus improving resistance to corrosion. The engaging nuts are also manufactured in the same grade of Titanium and the threads are coated with a Nickel/PTFE composite coating to prevent galling. The connectors have been qualiﬁ ed to 12,000 meter operating depth.

Description

CCP connectors are supplied as standard on a double-ended assembly or with robust moulded ST connectors on the second end. Teledyne Impulse-PDM offers a standard cable PDM 140 from stock, which can be used for either single-mode or multi-mode applications. This cable has been qualiﬁ ed to the same operating depth as the connector.

The o-ring sealing face for the BCR connector must be 25mm diameter minimum, with a surface ﬁ nish of 0.8 micrometers and lightly smeared with silicone grease. The connector uses a single-face seal. The mounting thread required is 5/8” - 18 UNF-2B, the axis of which must be perpendicular to the sealing face. The user must ensure suitable compatibility between materials when using connectors in seawater to avoid bimetallic corrosion. The BCR connector is supplied as standard with either a MU/ST/FC type connector. Any installation of the BCR connector must allow the jacketed ﬁ ber on the dry side up to 0.8mm of axial movement during mating and un-mating.

Specifications

Maximum Operational Depth	12,000 m (17,500 psi) Bulkhead connectors open face rated to 4,000 m*
Optical Fiber	Single-mode or multi-mode

*The open-face rating on Bulkhead connectors is intended for accidental open-face immersion or CCP sealing 0-ring failure. The connector sets are dry-mate only and should not be left unmated without protective caps fitted. Teledyne impulse-PDM recommends returning them for inspection should they be submerged open-face.
