ProAx® Fiber Connector SeriesProAx® Quad Fiber (F4) Connectors

Overview

ADC’s ProAx® Quad Fiber (F4) connector is quickly becomingthe industry-standard harsh environment multi-fiber connector.With its superb and consistent mechanical and optical

performance, the ProAx F4 connectors are the connectorsof choice for outside broadcast vehicle links, high traffic andconnect areas. The IP-68 rated four-fiber connector boaststhe same advantages, features and benefits as the ProAxHF connector. It is available as a factory terminated cableassembly using the ADC tactical reduced bend radius fibercable, a factory termination connector that can be assembledat the customer’s factory, or as a field termination connectorfeaturing our Avalanche™ technology.

The ProAx® fiber bulkhead and camera mountconnectors are designed with flexibility, serviceabilityand robustness in mind. The plug hybrid or quadfiber connectors have direct rear access to the BX5adapter. This allows the user to directly plug into it

with a standard BX5 or other industry-standard LX.5® compatible patch cord. The bulkhead connectormakes your breakout easy and maintenance a breezewhether it’s at the CCU, camera, breakout box or junction box. The BX5 adapter is easily accessible fromthe rear and can be replaced by simply removing therear nut. With the ProAx fiber bulkhead connectors,there is no need for expensive field polishing andrepairs. No need to send your camera anywhere forconnector repairs.
