Harsh Environment Fiber Optic Connector Selection
Whether natural or manmade, cataclysmic or catastrophic, rugged and unforgiving environments call for the use of high-performance fiber optic connectors. Appropriate connector selection is essential to assure adequate optical, environmental and mechanical performance. This paper outlines and describes the attributes, environments, requirements, technologies, and potential Harsh Environment Fiber Optic (HEFO) connector selection criteria.
