MC801 FIBER OPTIC CONNECTORS RUGGED, RELIABLE CONNECTIVITY COMBINING HIGH-PERFORMANCE ARINC 801 TERMINI WITH THE VERSATILITY AND FAMILIARITY OF D38999 SERIES III STYLE CONNECTORS AEROSPACE, DEFENSE & MARINE /// MC801 FIBER OPTIC CONNECTORSMC801 FIBER OPTIC CONNECTORS The MC801 connector combines the high performance of ARINC 801 optical termini with the convenience of a familiar D38999 Series III connector style. The connectors threaded coupling and the terminis spring-loaded design make an excellent solution for high-vibration applications. The compact 1.25-mm ferrule provides a high-density solutionwith up to 32 fibers in a size 25 shell. The 38999-style connector offers scoop-proof mating, a wide selection of materials and finishes, six keying options, and compatibility with standard 38999 backshells and hardware. Optical alignment is achieved with a thermoplastic insert containing precision zirconia alignment sleeves. Inserts, which are available for use with either the plug or receptacle, are removable to simplify cleaning. Stainless steel dowel pins also aid alignment during mating.
