To meet the requirements of next-generation WiMax and Long Term Evolution (LTE) Fiber to Antenna (FTTA) connectivity designs for rugged outdoor use, TE Connectivity (TE) has introduced the FullAXS connector system that provides SFP connection between the remote radio and base station for telecommunications applications. The new connector accommodates the broadest range of SFP transceivers in the market, allowing end-users to select the transceiver that meets their specific system requirements.
With this new product offering, users can also remove and replace transceivers through a cutout in the bulkhead that completely eliminates the need to open the entire remote radio box and expose its contents to hazardous weather conditions.
For the optical connection, the connector system includes an industry-standard duplex LC interface for fast mating with all LC duplex SFP transceivers. The FullAXS connector can be designed for either single mode or multimode optical transmission applications.
Designed to offer a versatile platform, the new product has the capacity to expand to RJ45 and power connectors and is available in a field-installable version with splice to suit any cable.
