Rugged Multichannel interconnect

MIL-38999 DM4 size 25

The MIL-38999 DM4 size 25 connector incorporates four fiber optic termini based on Diamond's two-component ferrules, assembled with our Active Core Alignment (ACA) process for unparalleled optical performance. This connector is available for MM, SM (PC/APC) and small core single mode fiber, polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber, and other specialty fiber types. Furthermore, it can also include electrical contacts for hybrid electrical / optical applications.

The company’s own ACA (Active Core Alignment) process was used in the development of the connector to guarantee an unparalleled concentricity of the fiber core. The connector is also fitted with electrical contacts for hybrid electrical / optical applications. In addition, splice-on terminations from Diamond can be assembled in the field with the ZEUS D50 HE function splicing device for on-site repairs. The digital video inspection microscope kit and the cleaning set protect the devices from contamination, as this is usually the most frequent cause of problems in optical networks. Proactive inspection and cleaning of the fiber optic connectors can prevent a worsening of the signal performance, damage to equipment and network failure times
