Did Somebody Say Backshells?

Did Somebody Say Backshells?

If someone were to ask you to describe the design features of a fiber optic backshell, would you know how to answer? If asked to list the different styles of rectangular backshells available from Glenair, how many could you name? And what about the environmental seals used in Series 39 EMI/RFI Cable Sealing Backshells? What makes one design splashproof while another provides full immersion protection? Most importantly, if you needed to build a Glenair connector accessory part number from scratch, could you do it? If you answered "beats me" to any of these questions, perhaps it's time you brushed up on the workhorse of the interconnect accessory industry: The Backshell.
