Amphenol is a world leader in the design, manufacture and supply of high-performance interconnect systems for harsh environment defense applications including vibration, pressure, humidity, nuclear radiation and severe temperature changes. We have unparalleled product breadth ranging from military specification connectors, customized high-speed board level interconnects, flexible to rigid printed circuit boards, backplane systems and integrated assemblies. Our solutions span most defense end markets including avionics, communications, engines, ground vehicles and tanks, homeland security, naval, ordnance and missile systems, radar systems, rotorcraft, satellite and space programs and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
The TFOCA-III® series of 6 & 24-channel fiber optic connectors are ideal for environmentally harsh conditions. The TFOCA-III® design utilizes the latest technology in fiber optic connectivity by incorporating industry-standard physical contact ceramic ferrules and alignment sleeves.
The TFOCA-II® 12-ch. connector, designed and patented by AFSI, is ideal for environmentally harsh conditions and its design takes advantage of the latest technology by utilizing industry-standard physical contact ceramic ferrules. The TFOCA-II® connector is designed for minimal maintenance in the field, and its removable end cap allows direct access to the alignment sleeve and termini.
AFSI, in collaboration with the United States Army CECOM, designed the “next generation” deployable fiber optic connector for the emerging “knowledge-centric warfare communication” requirements of the future battlefield. The heart of the TFOCA-II® centers on the sealed free-floating termini which enables the connectors to seal against high humidity and moisture conditions.
TFOCA-II® Ruggedized Media Converter (ARCH Series)
Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) offers the ARCH Series TFOCA-II® Ruggedized Media Converter to provide optical-electrical (O-E) and electrical-optical (E-O) conversion for harsh environments. This stand-alone unit features ruggedized optical transceivers integrated into a compact housing with 10/100/1000 Ethernet electrical interfaces.
The THDM is a MIL-PRF-28876 derived mechanical transfer (MT) rugged fiber optic connector for military and aerospace applications.THDM is modular, allowing multiple combinations of fiber types to be used in the same connector.
Rapid Prototyping. Achieve any pin-out you can imagine – without sacrificing performance or lead time. Thanks to Amphenol’s revolutionary insulator technology (patent pending), we can rapidly produce connectors in any PCB contact configuration and get you fully functional sample pieces within a week. MIL-DTL-38999, Reverse Bayonet GT, MIL-DTL-5015, 2M, and more.
TVµCom-10Gb+ combines 10 Gb/s Ethernet speed of the classic µCom-10Gb+ with the ruggedness of 38999 Series III shell. TVµCom-10Gb+ exceeds 10Gb/s according to the IEEE 802.3an-2006, 10GBase-T standard, and the 38999 series III size 11 shell provides environmental resistance similar to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III.
These specific adaptations of μCom and TVμCom are optimized for USB3.2 Gen1 and intended for connection and disconnection in harsh environment military and aerospace applications.
TV circular connectors with various surfaces such as aluminum, stainless steel, marine bronze, or nickel-coated composite. Approved as per MIL-DTL-38999 Series III. They are also very vibration-resistant due to the screw lock. A tear plug is also available.
