Lowest Insertion Loss in rugged compact connector
Based on proven military standard 38999 SIII electrical connectors, DEUTSCH Fiber Optic Physical Contact Series are ranges of fiber optic connectors that incorporate high-precision ferrules and alignment mechanisms to assure fiber alignment and minimize optical losses. Housed in composite 38999 standard compliant shells, they are fully sealed, extremely robust, lightweight and have outstanding corrosion resistance. The contact designs ensure optical continuity during high vibration, shock and temperature, and are easily accessed and removed for maintenance.
