F-143 Connector
Building on the legacy of MIL-PRF-28876, the F-143 incorporates the latest technologies in fiber optic interconnect design. The backshells feature the Quickloc™ captivation system, developed by AFSI, that is easy to install, easy to remove the captivated aramid yarn of the cable, and recapture without cutting back the cable.
Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies
Amphenol is vertically integrated to provide fiber optic termini, connectors, and cable assemblies as a single solution. Single-mode and multi-mode cable assemblies in a variety of cable configurations, from simplex jumpers to multi-fiber custom assemblies.
Fiber Optic Pre-Assembled Cable Expanded Beam HMA
A perfect fit for applications in harsh environments - expanded beam connectors HMA. Ideally prepared for all eventualities of data transmission by IP 68 protection class connectors as well as waterproof cable. Due to contact-free transmission of the expanded beam technology, there is no abrasion of the lenses and thus no damage and wear. HMA 2, 4, 8, or 12 channel connectors available.
Fiber Optic Termini
Multiple options available for single-mode and multi-mode termini in many industry standards -- MIL-PRF-29504, ARINC 801, MT ferrules.
Fixed Length Cable Assemblies
Amphenol RF offers a full line of pre-assembled, fixed-length cable assemblies. Fixed length assemblies are offered in all of our most popular connector series and are available in over 1400 standard configurations and lengths.
Front Face Panel
Front Face Panel are ergonomically & optically designed to match cockpit requirements. It includes a Light-Plate and Touches that we design & manufacture. Light-Plate integrates LED circuitry lighting painted legends. Touches are available in dome-switch and capacitive versions. We hold Part21G and PART145 certificates for production and maintenance. We support product design and certification.
Front Runner
The Front Runner series offers a multiplicity of connector features which makes it a first choice to meet the high performance and high-reliability requirements of medical, transportation, industrial control, and avionics applications. It's constructed with lightweight, non-corrodible material. EMI/RFI shielded version with electroless nickel plated plastic is available, as well as an IP67 version
FS12 Pierside 12-Channel Fiber Optic Connector
The AFSI FS12 fiber optic connector is for harsh environment, broadcast, and pierside applications with a design that provides flexibility for current and future Navy communication requirements both afloat and ashore It is also ideal for high fiber count tactical broadcast networks with removable termini, it enables quick connector reconfiguration and field maintainability.
FS34
These connectors are precision machined to stringent tolerances and designed to provide superior optical performance in extreme environmental conditions. FS34 offers rugged military and industrial multichannel fiber optic connectors with a captivation system developed by AFSI and Quickloc™ backshells.
FSBDC Series Bayonet Duplex Connector
The FSBDC is rugged, has a tri-mating bayonet locking mechanism, and is sealed ensuring high environmental and optical performance for a variety of applications in harsh environments.
The FSBDC is based on the proven Pattern 105 size 10 series of electrical connectors. The bayonet coupling offers simplistic and quick mating/de-mating. The shell material can be brass, aluminum, or marine bronze.
