The Defence Technological and Industrial Bases is indispensable for maintaining peace and security. After all, it provides an armed force with services and equipment. If it does not, the armed forces are left hobbled. This also applies to the Dutch armed forces. Nevertheless, the defence and security sector is experiencing difficulties in accessing private finance. Referring to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria, companies in the sector would not be able to access private financing from pension institutions, insurers and financial service providers. Because of the same criteria, the sector is experiencing difficulties in opening accounts with private banks. Below is summary on the current state of the issue.

Mini size - Shell size 11
Compatbile With: TE Pro Beam mini, QPC Qmicro, Stratos HMC, Fibreco Mini2

The HXB11 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
