Ideal for Wireless Base Stations
R2CT Connection System Provides Environmental and Mechanical Protection of Cable-to-Transceiver Interface
The new R2CT connection system is the most flexible solution that meets the needs of telecommunication OEMs and operators for fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) and similar multisignal applications in the field conditions.
At the panel front of the remote radio head (RRH) and unit (RRU) equipment, the R2CT provides a simple and protected low-cost waterproof and sealed connection at the cable-to-transceiver interface.
The R2CT has been designed for optical systems using SFP transceivers and duplex LC-terminated fiber optic cable. It is particularly well adapted to withstand harsh environmental conditions of outdoor applications.
Features and benefits
Robust and Easy to Install
- Double bayonet locking system ensures mechanical connection allowing a toolless hand-tightened connection - Patent pending
- Kit assembles without tools
- Designed to withstand climatic working conditions of outdoor field applications
- Plug assembly includes a protection cap that can be used for pulling cable
Flexible and Modular
- Kit assembles in the field over existing optical patch cords
- Compatible with any standard optical LC field cable assembly
- Compatible with any standard SFP transceiver
-
Reusable, allowing cables and transceivers to be easily changed
in the field, including front-panel swapping of transceivers - R2CT connection system can easily be used for other Ethernet and multisignal applications: compatible with RJ-45 patch cords and USB connections
Mechanical and Environmental Protection
- Waterproof
- Dustproof
- Important tensile strength
Low cost
