DescriptionMacArtney OptoLink connectors combine robustness and reliability with flexibility and ease of use. They provide low noise fibre optic connections for one to four optical fibre passes in a wide range of configurations for connector and penetrator types.

They are easy to fit and, thanks to ball lens technology, are easy to clean and reassemble in the field. OptoLink connectors are robust and reliable and are rated for depths of up to 6,000 metres. Their flexible cables also make the connectors easy to work with.

They are available in flange (FCR), bulkhead (BCR) and cable mount (CCP, CCR) configurations from stock in both nickel/aluminium, bronze and SS 316 housing.

Features and benefits ■ Standard depth rating 6,000 metres ■ One to four fibre passes ■ Can combine single mode and multi mode ■ Low attenuation ■ Unlimited number of matings ■ Excellent performance even when mated in harsh

marine environments ■ FCR and BCR rated to 600 bar back pressure

in oil ■ Stock and service from various MacArtney

locations worldwide

Applications ■ ROV, ROTV and AUV systems ■ Fibre optic video and data multiplexers ■ Cable ploughs ■ Acoustic ranges ■ Fibre optic riser fatigue systems ■ General underwater fibre optic communications ■ Renewable energy applications

Options ■ Other shell materials available ■ Certified pressure testing of assemblies or

components
