The HXB13 Connectors, featuring expanded beam technology, hermaphroditic connection, rugged construction for field deployment have been designed for harsh environment applications such as military tactical communications, avionics, offshore systems, outside broadcast, mining and plant.
The expanded beam technology uses expanded and collimated beams to couple optical fibers without any contact. It could allow for optics to be used in areas that have been quite restrictive due to presence of damage or contamination at the fiber end. Hermaphroditic connector design enables fast deployment by daisy-chaining multiple cable segments.
FEATURES
· Advanced expanded beam technology
· Rugged field deployable fiber optic connector
· Hermaphroditic interconnection
· 2 to 4 Optical Channels for Singlemode or Multimode
· Custom configurations available
· Environmental sealing (IPX8)
· Very high resistance to vibration, shock, environmental effects, dust, and debris

Our 155mm Artillery Shell
L15 High Explosive (HE)
Designed for use with a range of 155mm guns, this shell combines advanced technology with logistic simplicity, giving the user higher performance, in a cost effective manner. It comprises of a high tensile, steel body and is fitted with a user-selected fuze, for greater operational flexibility. The shell body features a thin wall, which is optimised for high fragmentation and blast effect.
XL12E1 High Explosive (HE) Extended Range (ER)
Based on a mature design, with a shell body adapted from the L15 High Explosive (HE) shell. A screw-on base bleed unit can be used to optimise range extension whilst maximising lethality.
L21 High Explosive (HE)
This shell is ballistically matched to the M107, as used by the US military. It is fitted with a removable nose plug, providing the user with greater operational flexibility, through choice of fuze.
L17 Inert
For use in gun proving, gun warming and handling practice, this shell is ballistically matched to the L15 High Explosive (HE) shell. It is fitted with a Plug Representing Fuze (PRF) and the steel body contains inert filling.
Our 155mm Propelling Charges
Our 155mm ammunition is supported by a range of propelling charges, which are designed for use in a wide range of 155mm ammunition systems.
L8 Propelling Charge
This consists of a cloth bag containing charge increments three to seven, with increments four to seven being removable. Ignition is by base igniter pad, contained in charge increment three and a breech-loaded percussion primer. A flash reduction agent is included in increment five and a de-coppering agent is included in increments five, six and seven.
L10 Propelling Charge
This consists of a combustible case, containing a single bundle of propellant and an igniter and disc assembly. A de-coppering agent is included in the charge.
L18 Propelling Charge
Used for training, this charge system consists of five increment charges of unequal size, to provide coverage for all zone firings. A flash reduction agent is included in the propellant composition and a de-coppering agent is included in increment four. The propellant is contained in cloth bags and the complete charge is secured together by cloth tying straps, attached to the base charge.
