The advantages of a fibre optic connection system that can transmit the equivalent of 24,000 telephone calls simultaneously through fibres thinner than a human hair — and over longer distances than would ever be possible with copper media — go beyond their mind-boggling data transmission rate.
Optoelectronics (also referred to as photonics) are various forms of optical transceivers / receiver assemblies, copper-to-fiber media converters, "active" connectors and cables and other devices used to convert digital electrical signals in electronic equipment into optical signals for high-bandwidth, long distance transmission
Our fibre optic contacts are universally recognized to provide consistent performance with extremely low dB loss. We are the supplier of choice for some of the world’s most advanced fibre optic systems, including the revolutionary F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
Ruggedized, High-Density MT Ferrule Fiber Optics in Aerospace-Grade MIL-DTL-38999 Connectors
MT fiber optic ferrules are super-high-density commercial interconnect inserts that accommodate up to 24 fibers in a compact and lightweight package.
Glenair's history of interconnect innovation for manned space applications began with our design and fabrication role in the realization of the golden umbilical life-support cable used by Commander Ed White in the first American Gemini Program space walk in 1965.
