Expanded-Beam Fiber Optic Assemblies
IAW MIL-DTL-83526/20 AND /21
HMA Type Intermateable
Series 185-002
Ideally suited for use in harsh application environments such as geophysical exploration, military communications, industrial data transmission, and video broadcasts, Eye-Beam® GMA expanded beam connectors and cables are built in accordance with MILDTL-83526/20 and /21 and are fully intermateable with industry standard HMA type solutions. Sealed expanded beam interconnect technology resists water, mud, dust, oil and other chemicals contaminating the optical path and deteriorating system performance. The hermaphroditic design of the GMA interconnect eliminates the need for in-line adapters, and the environmentally resistant packaging reduces field maintenance and repair costs.
Eye-Beam GMA connectors are sold as parts of complete assemblies. Individual connectors require specialized termination, assembly, and cleaning processes. Customers are advised to consult with Glenair's fiber optic application engineering team before purchasing.
