COTS M83526 4-CH Connector Family

INSTALLATION ZONE RECOMMENDATION - HEAVY DUTY & SEVERE DUTY

Description: 

OCC’s Tactical Fiber Optic Connector, COTS-83526, (TFOCAII^®) is designed to the MIL-PRF-83526/16 & /17 specification and approved to the US Army CECOM A3302584 specification for Tactical Fiber Optic Connector Assemblies. Available in two shell sizes (2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 Channel options) the hermaphroditic design of this connector family allows for quick deployment and versatility in the field.  The environmentally sealed terminus system offers a “free-floating” capability utilizing commercially available 02.5mm ceramic ferrules, relying on the Insert Cap of the COTS-83526 connectors to retain the ceramic alignment sleeve.  This connector family provides a robust deployable network solution with superior optical performance while maintaining resistance to the prolonged abuse of the elements and harsh environments.  Coupled with our 85045/8A Qualified (QPL) ground tactical cable, OCC provides the most rugged solutions the industry has to offer.

Features:

• Hermaphroditic, or genderless design allows for daisy chaining Plug-to-Plug assemblies for customized field length requirements.
• Hermaphroditic Dust Cap mates with both Plug and receptacle dust caps to prevent dust and moisture during deployment.
• Receptacles are customizable with Jam Nut and Flange Mount options, both internal and external mount, with or without strain relief (SRR)
• Zinc-Nickel standard plating provides superior resistance in corrosive environments.
• Ceramic Split Alignment Sleeves improve Insertion Loss performance over Solid Sleeves and are retained within the Insert Cap, preventing sleeve misplacement during maintenance routines.
• Enhanced Kevlar Retention System supports 400 lb. pull strength without degradation of optical signal.
• Integrated "Push-Pull" system allows operators to easily terminate Plugs and Receptacles in an efficient, non-complex format.
• Dry Film Lubrication coating on the mating Threads extends the life cycle of the connectors, self-lubricating through repeated mating cycles.
• Environmentally Sealed to meet IP-68 requirements.
• Fully inter-mateable with the AFSI TFOCAII^® and other industry connectors meeting the MIL-PRF-83526/16, /17 interface specification.
