Why Choose the ILME CX04LF Female Fibre Optic Modular Insert?
The ILME CX04LF is a specialised female fibre optic modular insert designed for reliable optical data connections within heavy-duty industrial connector assemblies. Part of the ILME MIXO Data series, it provides 4 seats for fibre optic contacts while occupying only one module within a compatible MIXO frame.
Designed for crimp fibre optic contacts, the CX04LF enables optical communication links to be incorporated alongside compatible power, signal, data and pneumatic MIXO modules in a single connector assembly. This modular approach is particularly useful in machinery and automation systems where robust, detachable connections must carry several different services through one industrial interface.
The CX04LF features a female configuration, 4 fibre optic contact positions and a compact 1-module format. When installed in a suitable ILME enclosure, the complete connector system can provide high levels of environmental protection, making it suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor industrial installations.

Reliable Fibre Optic Data Connections for Industrial Systems
Fibre optic communication is particularly valuable in industrial automation because optical signals provide high-speed data transmission without the electromagnetic interference issues associated with conventional copper communication cables. The ILME CX04LF enables these optical connections to be incorporated into a rugged MIXO modular connector interface alongside other services required by the machine.
The CX04LF accommodates four fibre optic contact positions and uses separately selected crimp fibre optic contacts. Once assembled in a suitable MIXO frame and ILME enclosure, the module provides a practical detachable interface for industrial communication links while maintaining the flexibility of the wider MIXO modular connector system.
Typical Applications
- Industrial fibre optic communication networks.
- Factory automation and robotic equipment.
- Machine-to-machine optical data connections.
- Production and process control equipment.
- Industrial communication and control systems.
- Heavy-duty modular connectors combining fibre optic links with other services.
