Multi-Channel Fiber to Fiber System features and benefits Amphenol multi-channel fiber optic connectors offer a pre- cision optic interconnect system within the high performance MIL-C-38999 Series Ill connector. The metal to metal mat- ing feature of the Tri-Start connector provides protection from damage in severe physical and environmental condi- tions. The Amphenol Fiber Optic Series II! Tri-Start* offers high performance in either standard metal shells or in com- posite shells which are qualified to MIL-C-38999, Rev. J. Special features in either the metal (stainless stee! and alu- minum) or composite design include scoop-proof recessed pin contacts, quick coupling, moisture resistance and opera- tion under high temperature vibration through 200C. Mis- mating conditions are eliminated with the 5 key/keyway polarization feature of the Fiber Optic Tri-Start connector. Optical performance of the fiber to fiber system within the Tri-Start connector does not degrade with high level vibra- tion. The fiber to fiber termini design when utilized in a MIL-C- Multi-Channel Connectors 38999 connector has the capability for operation from tem- peratures of -55C to +200C. Care should be taken to OPTICAL PERFORMANCE OF MULTI-CHANNEL select fiber, cable, epoxy and connector finishes that also FIBER OPTIC CONNECTORS meet temperature requirements e Insertion Loss at 820 nm, 100/140, Amphenol fiber optic termination types offer low loss char- .2 NA fiber, room ambient acteristics, with high reliability and repeatability. Optical per- (typical .5dB 1.0dB) formance is maximized utilizing the unique alignment FEATURES/BENEFITS methods employed in these termination systems. Ceramic alignment ferrule Stainless steel alignment (sleeve) Note: ceramic alignment sleeves are optional on proprietary designs.
