FHCXO-24-10AS

The FHCXO-24-10AS by Panduit Corp redefines Fiber Optic Connectors - Adapters technology for space-grade optical communications, meeting NASA-level reliability standards for satellite constellations. This radiation-hardened solution combines aerospace materials with precision optics for uninterrupted operation in LEO and GEO orbits.As a Adapter, this space-qualified component features monolithic ceramic construction that survives 100krad TID (Total Ionizing Dose) exposure, making it ideal for multi-year satellite missions.The LC Receptacle connection utilizes gold-diffused hermetic seals that maintain <0.5dB insertion loss after 500 thermal cycles (-196 C to +125 C) in lunar surface equipment.When converting to MPO Receptacle, the adapter's kinematic mounting system ensures micron-level repeatability for telescope optical bench alignments in space observatories.Available in 24-Plex formats, the product enables redundant optical links with <1ps skew between channels for fault-tolerant satellite crosslinks.Optimized for Multimode OM3 transmission, the adapter supports both 1064nm laser ranging and 1550nm communication wavelengths with <0.2dB wavelength-dependent loss for multi-function space systems.Engineered for Panel Mount, Snap-In installation, the adapter features zero-outgassing adhesives and vacuum-compatible materials meeting NASA-STD-6016 requirements.Manufactured from Plastic, the housing demonstrates <0.1% gas permeability after 10 years in vacuum, preventing optical surface contamination in deep space probes.The Zirconia, Ceramic ferrules incorporate radiation-resistant dopants that maintain <0.1dB/km additional loss after 10 years in Van Allen belt radiation environments.Blue coding follows ECSS-Q-ST-70-21 standards for visual identification in extravehicular activity (EVA) repair scenarios under full sunlight conditions.
