MIL-DTL-38999 Fiber Optic Test Probes and Connector Adapters

Glenair Fiber Optic Test Probes and Connector Adapters Provide Accurate and Repeatable Testing of MIL-DTL-38999 Cable Assemblies

Patented optical test and measurement system
Traditional optical test harnesses are expensive and easily contaminated in normal use. Glenair's test probe, in conjunction with our precise-mating test adapter, offers a complete solution to optical test and measurement. The probe design offers precision alignment with the use of ceramic ferrules and alignment sleeves. The spring design offers the same termination pressure as the MIL-PRF-29504 terminus. The built-in insertion and removal tool on the test probe allows for quick probing from one channel to the next with repeatable performance. The probe also houses a rubber strain-relief boot to protect the optical fiber from potential bend stress.

Specified by advanced military aircraft programs
The Glenair fiber optic test probe system has become a standard tool for the field testing of fiber optic media in front-line fighter jets and other advanced aircraft. With the upgrading of so many avionic systems to fiber optics, the need for fast and efficient troubleshooting equipment has become paramount. The traditionally heavy and expensive test harnesses of the past are now being replaced with Glenair's lightweight and easy-to-use fiber optic test probes and adapters.

Troubleshooting a shell size 25 MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Connector previously required an expensive test harness with 29 fiber optic terminations. Today, this test assembly has been replaced by Glenair with a single disposable probe jumper and a re-usable connector adapter. The system is now being used in advanced military aircraft programs as well as in naval weapons systems, sonar, video, audio, and a wide range of other military and commecrial applications.
