Hermetic fiber-optic feedthroughs for vacuum and pressure up to 1000 bars

The KTRAV-M12 hermetic fiber-optic feedthroughs are suitable for vacuum and pressure applications up to 1000 bars. They ensure a high level of hermeticity better than 10-9 mbar.l/s.

These hermetic fiber-optic feedthroughs can be made with:

  • polarization maintaining fibers,
  • singlemode fibers,
  • multimode graded-index fibers,
  • multimode step-index fibers.

For fibers with a cladding diameter of 125 µm maximum, they can be terminated with FC/APC or FC/PC connectors.

For core diameters up to 1000 µm, they come with SMA termination.

As an option, the KTRAV-M12 hermetic feed-throughs can be qualified according to standard NF EN 60079-1 European ATEX Zone 2 Category 3 (d IIIG llc; explosive environment).
