Combined Interface Fiber Optic Feedthroughs

Modular Pigtail & Adapter Configurations for UHV Systems

Our Combined Vacuum Fiber Feedthroughs offer unparalleled flexibility for complex optical systems. Designed with a modular approach, these feedthroughs allow you to customise the pigtail and adapter orientation on demand, ensuring a perfect fit for your specific vacuum chamber layout.

Whether you need a direct fiber connection (pigtail) or a bulkhead-style interface (adapter), our dual-interface design supports most fiber types – including Polarization-Maintaining (PM) – and can be integrated into any standard or custom flange.


Versatility Without Compromise

These feedthroughs are engineered for high-performance environments where reconfiguration and maintenance are frequent.

  • Dual-Side Customisation: Configure your choice of FC/PC, FC/APC, or SMA 905 connectors on either the vacuum or atmosphere side.

  • Easy Maintenance: The unique design allows the feedthrough to be removed from the flange, making it easy to reconfigure your setup without replacing the entire assembly.

  • UHV Compatibility: Machined from premium, low-outgassing materials and hermetically sealed to maintain integrity in High (HV) and Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV).


Key Advantages

  • Configurable Orientation: Mix and match pigtails and adapters to suit your internal and external routing.

  • Universal Fiber Support: Fully compatible with Single-Mode (SM), Multi-Mode (MM), and Polarization-Maintaining (PM) fibers.

  • Extreme Seal Integrity: UHV-rated for leak-tight performance down to <10-10 mbar.

  • Durable Tubing Options: Protect your fibers with Stainless Steel, PEEK, or PTFE jacketing for harsh environments.


Industry Applications

Our modular feedthroughs are the preferred choice for mission-critical optical paths:

  • Semiconductor Manufacturing: Reliable optical interconnects for wafer processing equipment.

  • Fusion Energy (Tokamak): Critical fiber-based plasma diagnostics through reactor vessel walls.

  • Particle Accelerators: High-precision optical diagnostics and timing synchronisation within beamlines.

  • Cryogenics: Stable fiber routing in extreme thermal environments down to –196°C.

  • Aerospace & Photonics: Ideal for satellite instrumentation and experimental vacuum-compatible optics
