VFAP12SMMST

HellermannTyton presents the VFAP12SMMST, a breakthrough in Fiber Optic Connectors - Adapters designed for extreme environment industrial IoT applications. This ruggedized fiber optic solution withstands the harshest conditions while maintaining G.657.A2 bend-insensitive fiber performance.Configured as a Coupler, this industrial-grade adapter incorporates self-cleaning connector interfaces that prevent particulate buildup in cement plant monitoring systems with heavy dust loads.The ST Receptacle connection utilizes hermetically sealed feedthroughs that maintain <0.5dB loss after 500 thermal shock cycles (-55 C to +125 C) in oil refinery SCADA networks.Conversion to ST Receptacle features corrosion-resistant beryllium copper springs that maintain constant mating force in offshore wind turbine monitoring systems with salt spray exposure.The 12-Plex design supports redundant fiber paths with <10ns failover switching, critical for uninterrupted operation in autonomous mining vehicle control systems.Optimized for Multimode operation, the adapter's expanded beam technology reduces sensitivity to contamination in underground coal mine gas monitoring systems.Built for Panel Mount, Snap-In installation, the adapter's zinc die-cast frame withstands 50G mechanical shock loads, meeting EN 60068-2-27 specifications for railway signaling equipment.The Metal enclosure provides IP69K protection against high-pressure washdowns in food processing plants, with NSF-approved material composition.Featuring Zirconia, Ceramic technology, the contact surfaces maintain <0.2dB loss variation during continuous vibration (10-2000Hz) in earthquake monitoring seismic arrays.The Beige housing incorporates UV-stabilized pigments that resist fading after 10,000 hours of direct sunlight exposure in desert solar farm installations.
