The 3M EBO 12-fiber ferrules slide smoothly into alignment, letting collimated beams cross between them with no physical contact. This design allows for mating with extremely low mating force, helping enable multiple ferrules to be configured and stacked together in one connection, ideal for data centers as they scale for AI.
3M™ Expanded Beam Optical Ferrule, 12F allows for faster time to revenue with comparable signal performance vs. physical contact and conventional EBO connectors. The 3M EBO ferrule provides very low mating force so multiple ferrules can be stacked into single connectors, allowing efficient data center rollouts and the upgrade of existing facilities.
