Tactical Fiber Optic Connectors, Cables and Termini
Military grade fiber optic connectors, termini and cables are ideally suited for high-reliability settings such as are found in commercial and military jet aircraft, satellite and other space-based applications, tactical field communications and harsh environment ship-to-shore Naval applications.
These products are distinguished from commercial off-the-shelf components (COTS) by their ability to deliver high-bandwidth data streams without the attenuation losses typical of less-precise technologies. Military-grade fiber optics are also known for their advanced tolerance to temperature extremes, immunity from electromagnetic interference and ease of integration into tested and qualified Mil-Spec interconnect cabling and connector packaging. From such applications as the Joint Strike Fighter to the most advanced and challenging space-based systems, Glenair is the recognized leader in the manufacture of fiber optic connection systems for every branch of the military and every configuration requirement. We are unique in the industry for our ability to not only supply all of the discrete components but to produce and deliver turn-key I/O interconnect cables and harnesses--including fiber optic cabling for high-dose-rate space radiation, extreme environmental exposure and corrosion resistance, improved fiber tensile strength and resistance to micro-bending. All of our fiber optic interconnect systems, including connectors, cables and termini are short lead-time items; many part numbers are available for immediate same-day shipment.
