ELIO Connector
Elio

The uniquely-controlled CTE characteristics, chemical bonding properties, and polycrystalline structure of our proprietary Kryoflex® ceramic sealing system, enables SOURIAU PA&E to manufacture fiber optic connectors from a variety of compatible materials. This process produces a connector exhibiting exceptional optical and environmental performance characteristics.

SOURIAU PA&E's hermetically-sealed fiber optic connectors are designed for use in military, telecommunication, medical and other commercial applications where environmental conditions require extremely reliable hermetic seals.
