Type F Fiber Optic Wellhead Outlets

In order to meet the increasing demands for fiber optic sensing in oilfield applications, we have developed a range of Fiber Optic Outlets to cover both standard and more demanding applications that need reliable connections.

Applications such as DTS and DAS provide enhanced information about the wellbore but, let's face it, the delicate nature of fiber connections is not ideally suited to being exposed to a typical wellhead environment.

Minimizing transmission losses is critical so all of the outlets contain fusion splices and we've developed our own proprietary feed through technology that can provide pressure containment for up to four fibers whilst keeping losses to a minimum.

  • Fiber protection trays - Prevent fiber damage during the installation process.
  • Test as you build - The modular design means that each stage of the assembly can be individually tested ensuring a quality installation, first time.
  • Low loss fiber feed through - Get full value from the sensing system with low transmission losses.
  • High specification - Our feed through technology has passed the rigorous API 6FB fire test.
  • Planning stage technical support - We can offer specification advice and technical drawings to support the early stage of your project. For more complex applications, our design team can modify our designs to your particular requirements including electrical-fiber hybrids.
