D38999 Connectors with M29504/04 and /05 Termini: The Standard Military-Aerospace Fiber Optic Connector / Termini Solution
MIL-DTL-38999 type fiber optic interconnection systems are the recognized standard for all military and commercial aerospace applications that depend on tight-tolerance optical termini alignment, high-levels of connector reliability, rugged environmental and mechanical performance and low dB insertion loss. Designed specifically for air and space, the Glenair MIL-DTL-38999 type tight-tolerance fiber optic connection system with qualified MIL-PRF-29504/4 socket and MIL-PRF-29504/5 pin termini for size 16 cavity insert arrangements has been successfully deployed in applications ranging from the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and the venerable F-22 to dozens of other fixed wing and rotary aircraft applications. Glenair manufactures all components in house, including tight-tolerance M38999 fiber optic connectors, ultra-low dB loss QPL M29504/04 (pin) and /05 (socket) termini for both single and multi-mode applications, as well as a complete range of assembly tools and other accessory components. Glenair is also able to supply custom hermetic seal fiber optic connectors (consult factory). Hermetic fiber optic receptacles and bulkhead feedthrough connectors are designed for vacuum applications, pressurized bulkheads, and pressurized equipment (box) housings. Glenair hermetic seal fiber optic connector technology incorporates both redundant O-ring sealed termini and signature CODE RED hermetic encapsulant.
