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.
Amphenol Fiber Systems International’s TFOCA-XBT4® incorporates expanded beam technology into the proven TFOCA-II® connector form factor. The TFOCA-II® physical contact connector is the standard fiber optic connector for the US Army, designed for and proven in the harshest of military and industrial applications.
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.
Threaded SMPM Connectors, Adapters and Cable Assemblies
SV Microwave just released a new line of threaded SMPM connectors that feature a standard SMPM RF interface with a threaded coupling nut to ensure low mating and de-mating force. These threaded SMPM connectors are ideal for high vibration environments while still maintaining superior electrical and mechanical performance.
SV Microwave has expanded its popular line of threaded SMPM connectors to include even more PCB connector variations. These connectors feature a standard SMPM RF interface with the addition of a threaded coupling nut to ensure low mating and de-mating force. These threaded SMPM connectors are ideal for high vibration environments while still maintaining superior performance.

A push-pull mating connector, the T-Line incorporates a retention spring in the receptacle and a full-mating indicator band on the plug. Inserts are qualified to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and accept standard M39029-56/58 series contacts in either size 22D or size 20 contact arrangements. Designed to reduce the size and weight of your electrical systems without sacrificing performance.
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.
New generation TVOP uses the proven 38 999 or derivated shell, and the standard termini (Ø 2.5 mm) which is designed to provide high reliability performance and cost effectives solutions for outdoor and indoor applications.
These connectors with thread coupling are based on MIL-DTL-38999 (they use shell size 17) & EN4165 / VG96513 (for the inserts) standards. Offering a high liability within a harsh environment, they are sealed and resistant to shock & vibrations. They use the same installation dimensions as connectors according to MIL-DTL-38999. They are available in alternative RoHS & REACH alternatives.
