CF38999 Multi-Channel Connectors
The Industry Standard for Fiber Optics
Amphenol
Aerospace
• Meets or exceeds MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements
• EMI Shielding-solid metal to metal coupling, grounding fingers, electroless
nickel plating, and thicker wall sections provide superior EMI shielding
capability of 65dB min. at 10 GHz.
• Termini Protection-recessed pins in this 100% scoop-proof connector
minimize potential termini damage
• Corrosion Resistance-shells of stainless steel or cadmium over nickel plating
withstand 500 hr. salt spray exposure
• Vibration/Shock-operates under severe high temperature vibration
• Threaded coupling quickly and completely mates in one 360° turn of the
coupling nut
Additional, composite connectors features include:
• Lightweight - 17%-70% weight savings
• Increased Corrosion Resistance-olive drab cadmium (175°C) and electroless
nickel plating (200°C) both withstand 2000 hours of salt spray exposure.
• Durability-1500 couplings minimum (in reference to connector couplings,
not termini)
