Thermocouple Contacts

Thermocouple contacts are manufactured from chromel or alumel alloys and color-coded for easy identification.  Contacts are crimp terminated and easily inserted into the connector module.  They can be readily removed from the connector module using a special removal tool.

Fibre Optic

Fibre optic patchcords are available in two types:

  • Plastic Optical Fibre (POF) supports low-speed, short distance applications. POF Contacts are rated for insertion loss of -4.0 db Max per mated pair.
  • Multimode supports higher speed fibre needs, using 62.5/125µ" diameter fibre with SPC glass polish. Ceramic Mini Multimode contacts are rated for insertion loss of -1.5 db Max per mated pair.

Specialty fibre optic patchcords and cables can be provided to customer specification. From smaller diameter (50/125µ") wire to duplex fibre wiring to separating multiple fibre bundles into individual lines for termination using furcation tubing, please contact us to discuss your fibre optic cabling needs.
