Certified fibre optic connectors created for harsh environment applications

Cinch Connectivity Solutions Mil-Junior MIL-DTL-83526 CERTIFIED fibre optic connectors, in stock at Mouser, are created for harsh environment applications such as military tactical communications, outside broadcast, petrochemical plant, mining, and offshore systems. Mil-Junior Connectors are terminated using an epoxy-polish ferrule termination process with standard fibre optic termination tools and equipment. The terminated ferrules are inserted into the expanded beam housing and secured in place via a spring and cover-plate. Ferrule alignment to the lenses is automatically achieved through the proprietary optical arrangement created and patented by Cinch-Fibreco. If the connector is damaged during use, the unique design of the Mil-Junior enable the expanded beam insert, connector front body and grip ring to be replaced without the need to re-terminate the fibres. Typically, this can be completed within 30 minutes, even in field conditions.
