By combining the effective technology of both Amphenol Fiber Systems International's FS3H hermaphroditic and AT&T's TFOCA deployable fiber optic connector, the family of TFOCA-II(R) connectors was born, becoming an enabling technology for the digital battlefield. The heart of the TFOCA-II(R) family of deployable fiber optic connectors centers on the TFOCA-II(R) sealed free floating termini. The unique termini design enables TFOCA-II(R) connectors to seal against high humidity and moisture conditions while allowing full axial and orbital movement of the mated termini, providing low insertion loss and minimal back reflection. Features and Benefits * Hermaphroditic Design for Versatility - Enables multiple TFOCA-II(R) plug assemblies to be concatenated. * Removable End Cap - Allows for easy field maintenance and cleaning. * 4-Channel Connector Design - Two fold improvement over TFOCA with better optical performance. * Improved Cable Retention Strength - Designed to meet 400lb. pull strength while protecting fibers from stress. * Zn-Ni Plating - Provides substantial longevity to corrosive environments. Meets new mandate set by Environmental Protection Agency for elimination of heavy metal plating. * Commercial Ceramic Ferrule Technology - Enables TFOCA-II(R) connector to provision multimode and single mode interconnect with a variety of polishes including SPC and UPC. * Solid Core Alignment Sleeves - More robust than split alignment sleeves. * Hermaphroditic Dust Cap - Plug and/or receptacle dust caps connect together to prevent dust and moisture penetration during deployable conditions. * Optional Key Positions - Four key positions (1,2,3, universal) available, enabling segregation of mated plug/receptacles or plug/plug, through mechanical interface. * Field Repairable Using Existing Parts - Additional connector components (other than termini) are not required to perform field repair. * Also Available in Stainless Steel and Brass - Allows the connector to be used in a variety of applications. Applications * This unique connector series was designed and patented by Amphenol Fiber Systems International for use in environmentally harsh conditions. The U.S. Army has standardized on the 4-channel TFOCA-II(R) connector as the next generation fiber optic connector for military tactical deployable network applications.
