M28876 Fiber Optic Connectors
Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) designs and manufactures a complete
line of circular fiber optic connectors designed and qualified to MIL-PRF-28876, Rev E.
These connectors are precision machined to stringent tolerances and designed to provide superior optical performance
in extreme environmental conditions. M28876 offers rugged military and industrial multichannel fiber optic connectors
for deployable, shipboard, outdoor and fixed system requirements.
The backshell features the Quickloc captivation system developed by Amphenol Fiber Systems International. Not only
is it simple to install, it is also easy to remove the aramid yarn of the cable (KEVLAR) captivation and recapture without
cutting back the cable. The Quickloc backshell also allows easy access to maintain or reconfigure termini without
altering the captivated aramid fiber.
