G3 CONNECTORS
The third generation G3 connector utilizes existing HydraLight technology and is available in 6 channels with either singlemode or multimode optical fiber. The G3 connector offers low profile optical connectivity combined with simplicity of operation and is ideally suited for tight interfaces requiring low loss optical performance. This connector can incorporate flat or angle polished contacts making it ideal for either signal communication systems or optical measurement and sensing systems such as tubing hanger connections, tree connections, riser monitoring systems and life of field seismic systems (LoFS).
