For deep connections

Underwater and deep ocean lighting and connector manufacturer Birns Inc has announced the addition of a new 1.25mm optical ferrule for its Birns Millennium™ connector series – a high performance, high density dry-mate connector range suitable for applications at depths up to 6km. The series can be used with molded or oil-filled cables in straight or 90-degree configurations, and is available in high and low voltage, coax, fiber optic, and hybrids of electro-coax, electro-optical and electro-opto-mechanical formats.

with low insertion losses for subsea applications in extremely high density pin configurations, while affording superior precision alignment capabilities. The new ferrule is available in addition to the existing 2.5mm ferrule, with both made of ceramic zirconia. “With the enormous increase in high density connector hybrid configurations from both our military and commercial customers, we are happy to offer yet another high performance option for including the maximum number of contacts in a miniature, deep submergence connector,” said Eric Birns, president and CEO.

The 1.25mm ferrule is designed to provide single-mode and multi-mode options
