Simple Footprint ESCON Fiber Optic Connector For Active Device Termination
Our ESCON (Enterprise Systems Connection) is a data connection created by IBM, and is commonly used to connect their mainframe computers to peripheral devices such as disk storage and tape drives. They have two 2.55 mm ceramic ferrules and a robust strain relief design. ESCON is an optical fiber, half-duplex, serial interface. The ESCON connector is very sturdy and robust but also has a large footprint. This was okay at the time, as there were not a lot of connections needed. This connector is an icon as it was the first fiber cable connector widely used in data center architecture.
