Fiber Optic Connectors / Contacts

Size 16 Low Loss Floating Fiber Optic CP 29504/4 Pin Termini

The floating pin termini provides exceptional low loss characteristics with high reliability and repeatability.  They are designed to fit available formats of standard off the shelf electrical MIL-DTL-38999 cylindrical connectors (i.e D38999/20 & /26).  The floating pin eliminates the need of using costly tight tolerance and hard to locate D38999/60 & /61 connector thus lowering the overall cost of ownership. 

ARINC 801 Terminus

The ARINC 801 fiber optic terminus is the next generation of high density, butt joint interconnect technology. With its standard 1.25 mm ferrule and sleeve, the ARINC 801 terminus is designed for both multimode and single-mode applications and is compatible with standard LC termination processes. The terminus is available both as a pull-proof design and as an optical disconnect style. Click Here for Qualification Test Report

ARINC 801 Terminus is available through our authorized distributors
