Pop-in Replacement for FC Bulkheads!
29 Recent ViewsCall for more details
FORAs allow the fiber to rotate freely while maintaining uninterrupted transmission of the optical signal.
Princetel's FORAs can be a pop-in replacement for FC bulkheads.
The RFCX model features low insertion loss and small loss variation during rotation (wow). Return loss can reach as high as >40 dB depending on the conditions of the mating connectors. Well conditioned connectors can also result in typical losses of around 1 dB.
Rugged, sealed for dust and moisture, and can operate under temperature extremes.
