D38999 Series III Derived
Expanded Beam Connector
Fiber Optic Connectors
The Cinch Advantage
D38999 Series III derived expanded beam fiber optic connectors have
been designed for use in the most demanding civil and military electronic
equipment interface applications.
The connector features the generic MIL-DTL-38999 Series III tri-start
thread and one-turn self locking anti-vibration coupling mechanism
making it ideal for use in vehicle, aircraft and naval environments.
Plug and receptacle connectors are available with straight or 90º backshell options and a choice of shell materials including Aluminum alloy
(Zinc Cobalt, Olive drab), Aluminum alloy (electroless Nickel plated),
Nickel Aluminum Bronze (shot blast, non-reflective) and Stainless Steel
(passivated).
Receptacle connectors are available with jam-nut or square-flange
mounting and strain relief for zip-cords or tactical cable.
The connectors are terminated using an epoxy-polish ferrule termination
process with standard fiber optic termination tools and equipment. The
terminated ferrules are simply inserted into the expanded beam housing
and fixed in place via a spring and cover-plate. Ferrule alignment to
the lenses is achieved automatically by the unique optical arrangement
developed and patented by Cinch-Fibreco.
The D38999 Series III expanded beam connectors offer high performance,
flexibility and cost effectiveness, combined with a simple termination
process allowing rapid in-field termination and repair.
