With FIMPXL (Fiber Industrial Mini Patch) eks Engel has successfully taken a step that brings IT into harsh industrial environments.
FIMPXL is just unsignificantly taller than its older brother, but it is designed for up to 24 fiber optic cables.
A special feature of this new development: The MPO-technology with its high packing density which has long been used in the IT-sector, can now be used in harsh industrial areas in automation technology, too.
This is possible with a specially designed MPO-set called FIMPO which makes it suitable for industry. The MPO-coupling can either be used outside the housing or inside it. This new technology is also available for FIMP as of now.
Regarding the couplings in the frontpanel, the new box is really flexible. Users can choose between classic SC-duplex or compact couplings.
Furthermore, FIMPXL proves its flexibility regarding cabl-ing. Three cuttings at the top and at the bottom side make it possible that the box can also be used as dis-tributor for up to 24 fibers.
One of the interior qualities is that the splice box can contain two splice holders.
With FIMPXL eks Engel combines two totally different worlds, so that innovations from the IT-sector can now also be used in harsh industrial applications without any problems.
