Designed for demanding civil and military electronic equipment interfaces, the D38999 Series III expanded beam fibre optic connectors offer high-performance, flexibility and cost effectiveness. These connectors use the same inserts as our F BEAMTM products.
Featuring the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III tri-start thread and a one-turn self-locking anti-vibration coupling mechanism, these connectors excel in armoured vehicles, aircraft, and naval systems.
Connectors are available as plugs or receptacles with straight or 90o back shell options. Receptacles are available with jam-nut or square-flange mounting and strain relief. These connectors are easy to clean, resistant to environmental contamination and less susceptible to variations in temperature and humidity.
Ridgemount D38999 connectors are available with either singlemode and multimode fibre.
