3M™ Expanded Beam Optical Ferrule, 16 Fiber
- 3M Product Number 16F
- 3M ID B5005524001
- UPC 00068060474490
Engineered for hyperscalers
The 3M EBO 16-fiber ferrules slide smoothly into alignment, letting collimated beams cross between them with no physical contact. This design allows for mating with extremely low mating force, helping enable multiple ferrules to be configured and stacked together in one connection, ideal for data centers as they scale for AI.
Details
Highlights
- Allows for faster time to revenue with comparable signal performance vs. physical contact and conventional EBO connectors
- Can provide significant time savings by potentially reducing the need for connector inspection and cleaning during link testing
- Dust sensitive process helps reduce migration of dust into the optical path over time
- Helps reduce maintenance requirements in demanding environments
- Very low mating force allows multiple ferrules to be stacked into single connectors for versatility and scalability
- Optimized for hyperscale data centers and edge computing environments
3M™ Expanded Beam Optical Ferrule, 16F allows for faster time to revenue with comparable signal performance vs. physical contact and conventional EBO connectors. The 3M EBO ferrule provides very low mating force so multiple ferrules can be stacked into single connectors, allowing efficient data center rollouts and the upgrade of existing facilities.
