The KTRAV-IP series is a hermetic adapter for pressure applications up to 30 bars.
HermeticAdapter
Hermetic connector for connecting two fiber optic cables
KTRAV-IP series hermetic adapters, also known as hermetic fittings, are used in vacuum and pressure applications up to 30 bar.
KeyFeatures
- From vacuum to 30 bars,
- 10-5 mbar.l/s hermeticity when the fiber patch cords are plugged to the KTRAV-IP,
- Single-channel,
- ST/PC, ST/APC or SMA adapters.
It is a hermetic adapter that allows to hermetically connect two optical fiber patch cords terminated with SMA, ST/PC or ST/APC connectors. Both sides must remain connected to maintain seal integrity.
Indeed, the SMA and ST coupling parts feature an integral self-sealing design that ensures a watertight, environmentally and hermetically sealed fiber connection. Hence, the KTRAV-IP adapter, when connected to the fiber patch cord, can reach a hermeticity of 10-5 mbar.l/s. Besides, it can withstand a pressure level of up to 30 bars. As a result, the connected optical fiber is completely protected from the surrounding environment.
The panel hermeticity is obtained by a gasket in the flange while the inner hermeticity is obtained by a gasket on the connector ferrule.
This hermetic adapter is supplemented by specific ruggedize SMA or ST connectors and dust caps.
We also offer a variety of compatible patch cords separately. The SMA connectors version supports fiber patch cords from 200 µm to 1500 µm core diameters terminated with in-house SMA connectors equipped with a Viton O-ring. The ST versions are compatible with any patch cords up to 1000 µm and terminated with standard ST connectors.
