Sabritec Launches ARINC 801 Contact

Irvine, CA - Sabritec, manufacturer of high speed interconnect solutions, has developed a Size 16 ARINC 801 contact for single and multi-mode applications.

The ARINC 801 fiber optic terminus is the next generation of butt-joint interconnect technology allowing for higher density multichannel connectors to be achieved. With its standard 1.25 mm ferrule and sleeve, the ARINC 801 terminus is designed for both multimode and single-mode applications and is compatible with standard LC termination processes. The terminus is available both as a pull-proof design and a general use design for tight jacketed cable. For the pull-proof design, the cable jacket is crimped on an external body and a floating mechanism avoids any loss of performance when pulling on the cable. This feature allows for the use of the connector without a backshell.

Standard connector formats include MIL-DTL-38999 type, MIL-DTL-83527 type, ARINC 600 and ARINC 781.

Features:

Single terminus design for all connector formats

• Low loss, low back reflection
• Return loss -50dB Single Mode
• Low Insertion loss .3dB max mated pair
• General use design (no strain relief backshell needed)
• Optical disconnect style available
• PC or APC ferrule end face
• Hermaphroditic design (same contact on both sides of the connector)
• Compatible with multi-mode and single-mode fiber
• Standard 1.25 mm ferrule and sleeve
• Cable termination identical to LC connector process
• Easy cleaning access to the contact through removable alignment sleeve holder
• Standard MIL-DTL-38999 and ARINC 600 Size 16 insertion/removal tool
