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.
Fairlead Blocks
Fairlead Blocks provide stability against surges and vibration. Parts are designed with cored-out geometry to help reduce with by up to 20% from traditional rubber blocks. Amphenol’s engineering experience enables the company to develop blocks that accommodate a wide range of tube diameters, and the products have no loose parts—reducing the likelihood of FOD
Fiber Optic Bulkhead Feed -Through
The multi-channel fiber optic feed-through is designed to perform in demanding environments where a high degree of environmental sealing is required between bulkheads. Fully compatible with D38999 and Amphenol CF-series fiber optic connectors with size 16 fiber optic contacts. Jam nut style for easy installation.
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 Drums
Fiber optic drums ready to deploy on battlefield.
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.
FiberQuad Ruggedized Quadrax Contacts
FiberQuad embeds a fiber optic transmitter or receiver within a Quadrax contact along with the support electronics to provide a plug-and-play solution. The contact fits within a standard Quadrax contact and can be installed in plugs and receptacles meant for Amphenol Quadrax D38999 connectors.
Fiber to Antenna (FTTA) Interconnect Solutions
Borne from the foundation of D38999 mil-spec harsh environment connectors, the FTTA interconnect solution combines standard fiber optic LC components and copper contacts in a rugged, affordable package. The FTTA series is highly configurable to support a wide range of industrial applications where fiber and copper connectivity are required in a single connector.
Field Replaceable 2 and 4 Hole Connectors
SV Microwave just released 2 and 4 hole flange, field replaceable connectors available with 2.92mm, 2.4mm, or 1.85mm female interfaces that offer a panel mount solution from DC to 67 GHz. These connectors have been optimized to provide excellent electrical performance when mating to pins ranging in size from Ø.009” up to Ø.015”. With standard hole sizes, they can be easily installed or replaced.
