CONNECTORS MC3 MKII RANGE The high performance MC3 MkII multiway connectors incorporate individually insertable/removable optical contacts for easy assembly/maintenance. The MC3 MkII range has the same removable alignment insert feature as the MC3 for easy cleaning (which can be specified in either receptacle or plug), and is suitable for use with most singlemode and multimode optical fibres with core diameters from 5 to 200m. 5, 8 and 12 optical channels are accommodated in the MIL-C-38999 III style connector shells. The MC3 connector range has been tested and approved for use in severe environments. THE MC3 IS USED ON THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMMES: Eurofighter, Laser Warner System (BAE SYSTEMS) 757, In Flight In Service Programme (Boeing Commercial Airplane) Space Shuttle (Boeing) X.33 (Lockheed Martin) Fibre Optic Towed Decoys (IDECM) B1-B, F-15, FA-18 (US Airforce) Phalanx, Shipboard Weapons System (US Navy) AWACS, (US and NATO Airforces) ECIT - Electronic Countermeasures Integrated Test (USAF) E FOG M Electronic Fibre Optic Guided Missile (US Army) FIBRE OPTIC MULTIWAY CONNECTORS ADVANTAGES Precision Zirconia ceramic ferrules and alignment sleeves ensure superior, repeatable optical performance with physical contact polishing techniques Insert to insert keying assists precision alignment Individually rear insertable/removable optical contacts enable easy assembly Easily removable alignment sleeve insert facilitates simple cleaning and maintenance Colour band indicates full mate condition Identical optical contacts are spring loaded in both plug and receptacle to maintain physical contact even under severe shock or vibration conditions (fixed contact option available for receptacle) Simple termination process and tooling Backshells and adaptors available for most single fibre and multi-fibre cable types MIL-C-38999 III anti-vibration coupling mechanism, and tri-start thread Alternative shell keyway orientations provide protection from inadvertent mismating Dynamic `0' ring seal between mating shells provides water submersion capability Available with actively aligned contacts for ultimate performance in single mode applications.
