Optical Industrial

Cable Assemblies

and Adapters

Easy optical connections are now possible in harsh industrial environments with Molex’s optical

industrial cable assemblies

Designed with rugged and compact housings, Molex’s

optical industrial assemblies incorporate the high-

performance of a fiber optic connection with the

versatility of a rugged industrial connector. The

assemblies guarantee an environmentally sealed optical

connection in one step, with the combined push-pull

insertion and bayonet-style mechanical latch. The

bulkhead adapter mounts directly in a panel cut-out,

serving as a sealed feed-through. The removable

connector provides sealing between both the adapter

mating-surface, as well as the cable exiting the

connector.

Molex’s optical industrial assemblies are compatible

with many fiber types and cable constructions and are

ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. This

assembly is particularly well-suited for long distances

or remote connections using either single mode or

multimode fiber.

Available in a simplex SC , Duplex LC, and multi-fiber

MPO version, these assemblies offer a sealed fiber optic

connection to fit many applications from bi-directional

single fiber up to 12 fiber ribbon connections.

Assemblies are available in pigtails (single-ended),

jumpers (dual-ended) and breakout assemblies, to any

Molex standard fiber optic connector. The assemblies

can be manufactured in lengths from 1.0 meter to well

over 1.0 kilometer.

The industrial duplex LC assembly has been ratified as

a ‘Standard Interface’ in the ODVA (Open DeviceNet

Vendors Association) as a next generation industrial

interconnect.
