3M™ Expanded Beam Optical (EBO) Latch Connector for PreCONNECT® solutions The best of both worlds: Singlemode and expanded beam connectors Reliable connectors that can be repeatedly plugged in and unplugged while still maintaining constant performance over all fibers – that is what 3M™ EBO has to offer. The innovative yet extremely simple structure of this expanded beam plug connector permits repeated plugging and unplugging with no loss of performance and no need to clean the end faces. What is more, it is all but insensitive to vibrations and dust. Because the end faces of the fibers do not physically touch one another, the risk of chipping, scratches and damage is eliminated, while simultaneously guaranteeing outstanding IL and RL performance. In contrast to earlier expanded beam methods, the 3M™ EBO Expanded Beam Latch connector uses a new mirror reflex collimation lens in order to expand the light path and overcome the effect of surface particles on the IL and RL performance. Tiny deviations in the fiber alignment in plug connections (lateral offset) are all but eliminated. This new technology, which has been patented by 3M™, not only permits multimode applications but also makes it possible to use the expanded beam for singlemode applications – something that was not possible in the past, in particular in the case of multiple fibers.

Complementing its standard HV connector portfolio, Rosenberger develops and manufactures customer-specific high-voltage components for electric and hybrid vehicles. These enable the lowest possible transition resistances, ensuring long-term low-loss performance and reliability in critical electrical systems such as those for battery charging, cell management, heating, and air conditioning. From concept to final delivery, Rosenberger high voltage custom components are the perfect fit every time. Using its component toolkit, including PDUs, Y-splitters, Busbars and Cell Modules, Rosenberger can develop and manufacture a wide array of tailor-made solutions. These are designed and configured precisely to the relevant vehicle architecture, allowing ideal combinations of the various fuses, relays and other passive and active components required. Power Distribution Units (PDU) Power distribution units (PDU) for vehicles have multiple power input and outputs and use all kinds of connectors, fuses, and relays. In these cases, the PDU generally forms the central link between the vehicle power electronics and batteries, electric motors, and other ancillary units. Y-Splitters Y-splitters are used to distribute the power from one cable harness to two or more units, e.g., between a DC/DC converter and an electric air-conditioning unit. Rosenberger can design Y-splitters for applications with and without shielding for cable cross sections from 4 mm² to 95 mm² in collaboration with the customer. Cell Module Connectors The Rosenberger HV portfolio also includes cell module connectors. These connectors are required to link battery modules within a battery pack. For typical battery applications, multiple custom-designed battery connection points are required. Based on the robust pressure contact system, Rosenberger offers cell module connectors without flexing parts in the contact area. Systems from 100 to 350 A are available. Different assembly directions, coding variants as well as cross sections can be implemented according to customer-specific requirements.

PreCONNECT® DUODECIM is the perfect solution for all who still have conventional transceivers for duplex applications like 10/25/50 GBE and 8/16/32 GFC on both cabling sides in foreseeable time, but want to be prepared for the migration to MPO based parallel optics applications. Trunks and 19" panels can be further used for migration. The fiber optic cabling system PreCONNECT® DUODECIM promises investment security by optimal use of the trunks for duplex applications and MPO based parallel optical applications. The perfectly matched modular individual components are quick and easy to install thanks to the factory-fabricated Plug & Play system.

PreCONNECT® COPPER ToR – Generation 2 is the re-design of our factory assembled copper data cable Trunks optimized for "top-of-the-rack" Plug & Play installations for applications in data centers.
