Why Choose the ILME CX04SCF Fibre Optic MIXO Module?
The ILME CX04SCF, also identified as CX 04 SCF, is a female MIXO Data fibre-optic modular insert designed to accommodate four SC fibre-optic contacts within an ILME heavy-duty modular connector assembly. Occupying only one MIXO module, it provides a compact way to integrate multiple optical communication channels into industrial machinery, automation and data systems.
The CX04SCF features four seats for SC fibre-optic contacts and is supplied with a ceramic sleeve and metal fixing plate. It is designed for compatible ILME SC contacts including the CL 125 SC for 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm graded-index fibre and the CL POF SC for 1 mm POF, allowing the fibre system to be configured for the required application.
Manufactured from durable polycarbonate with a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, the CX04SCF offers a mechanical life of at least 500 mating cycles and an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C. When installed in a suitable ILME enclosure, the module can form part of a highly protected industrial connector assembly for dependable optical data transmission.

Reliable Fibre-Optic Connectivity for Industrial Systems
Fibre-optic communication provides high-speed data transmission with inherent immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it particularly valuable around motors, drives, switching equipment and other electrically noisy industrial systems. The CX04SCF enables four SC fibre-optic connections to be incorporated into the configurable ILME MIXO heavy-duty connector platform while occupying only one frame slot.
Compatible SC contacts are selected separately according to the required fibre technology. The CL 125 SC supports graded-index 50/125 µm and 62.5/125 µm fibres, while the CL POF SC provides an option for 1 mm plastic optical fibre. When installed in a suitable MIXO frame and ILME enclosure, the CX04SCF provides a robust detachable optical interface for demanding industrial equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial fibre-optic communication networks.
- Factory automation and production machinery.
- Industrial Ethernet and optical data links.
- Robotics and automated manufacturing systems.
- Equipment operating in electrically noisy environments.
- Hybrid MIXO assemblies combining fibre optics with power, signal, data or pneumatic connections.
