Fiber Optic HARNESSES for Onboard or Earth Communication Systems
 | Optical contacts are ceramic or metal "terminus" that are inserted in electrical contact cavities of standard multi-contact connectors (ARINC, MIL C38999, EPX, etc.).
Spreading fiber optics through a back-shell allows a cable effort recovery with no risk for the fiber. Traction withstand is excellent. There are two types of back-shells : one that allows the expansion of individual fibers, and another with a cable-gland for multi-way cables. |
TERMINI Contacts (MIL-PRF-29504 standard compliant)

Termini contacts play a major role in all of these applications which usually require minimum footprint.Fiber optics has spread through most severe environment applications where high mechanical performance connectors are required. This includes multi-contact connectors that have been widely used to handle fully-optical channels or mix optical and electrical channels while meeting basic connector requirements such as sealing, shock and vibration resilience, etc. Termini contacts can be inserted in 12 and 16 cavity size of multicontact connectors, such as electrical contacts. Termini contacts do not require using any specific assembly tool or adjustment parts. Optical ferrules are either in ceramic or metal. Termini contacts are connected to the fiber by a simple gluing or polishing operation. In order to avoid constraint on the fiber induced by the rear sealing grommet, Radiall has developed a unique releasing boot holder. The coupling technology is of "physical contact", and typical insertion losses are 0.8dB. The range includes a wide array of contacts to connect multi-mode fibers up to 1,010µm. Termini contacts are compatible with the following multi-contact connectors:
