As part of our portable, deployable range of fibre optic cables, Expanded Beam is one of the most popular for the Military and Defence industry. Expanded Beam connectors are specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements outlined in MIL-DTL-83526 Military Specifications.

These innovative fibre optic connectors are purposefully engineered to operate in the most challenging conditions, as they utilise non-physical contact fibre optic termini that are securely sealed behind an anti-reflective coated ball lens to an IP68 rating. Expanded Beam connectors ensure optimal protection and performance, making them an ideal choice for harsh environment applications.

Universal Networks are fibre deployable experts specialising in the design and delivery of custom made, rugged fibre solutions. With nearly 30 years of experience, we have worked with a variety of companies operating in some of the most challenging and harsh environments, including the MOD and affiliated companies to the defence industry.
