What is IP9?

What is IP9?

Ideal for aerial fibre optic networks, IP9 connectors are ruggedised, outdoor-rated connectors built to withstand challenging environments. Their small footprint, IP68 rating, and bayonet-style locking make them a reliable choice for demanding deployments.

Purpose:

  • They are specifically designed for applications like FTTH (Fibre to the Home) and FTTA (Fibre to the Antenna), which require reliable connections in outdoor settings.
  • They are built to withstand environmental factors such as dust and water.

Key Features:

  • IP68 Rating: This signifies a high level of protection against dust and water ingress.  
  • Ruggedised Design: They are designed to withstand significant pull force, enhancing their durability.  
  • Small Footprint: They are designed to save space, which is valuable in many installations.
  • Varied Configurations: IP9 connectors are available in various fibre configurations, including SC, SN, and MPO, allowing for flexibility in network design.

Applications:

These connectors are used in outdoor fibre optic deployments, including: telecommunications networks, 5G infrastructure and broadband installations.
