ITT Interconnect Solutions has launched its PHD 38999 fibre optic connector family in response to demands for a interconnect system suitable for harsh environments that could group multiple fibre optic terminations in a rugged circular connector profile with precision alignment and optical performance features.
Initially developed for high speed backplane systems for telecoms switching, the PHD termination and connector system delivers a high density package with superior optical signal transmission performance. Providing a common solution for all fibre sizes, ITT-ICS also designed the PHD system for packaging flexibility, suiting it to many Mil Spec and standard connector envelopes – both circular and rectangular. The PHD product family is available as complete, custom, fibre optic cable assemblies.
Suitable for very demanding harsh environment applications including defence, avionics and tactical communications, PHD metal connectors are compatible with M38999 outside dimensions and feature an all-metallic back shell with sealing grommet and a removable alignment insert assembly. Sizes 20, 24, 28 and 36 are available, and a shielding kit is included.
