IL-C 38999 Series III connectors have been utilized for avionics electrical connection systems for years. From cockpit electronices to weapon systems, the MIL-C-38999 connector has provided a rugged fault-free electrical transmission junction. With the advent of optical fiber communication technologies, the standard MIL-C-38999 electrical connector was pressed into service as a fiber optic interconnect. While the connector has been used successfully in a wide range of fiber optic applications, the goal of improving data loss values to an ambitious .3dB has driven standards organizations and manufacturers to develop new designs for next generation fiber optic connectors and termini. Read on to learn all about these latest design innovations in fiber optic interconnect products and standards from Greg Noll, Glenair's fiber optic product manager.
