AFSI M83522/16-DNX COTS MIL-SPEC ST® Connector, Multimode, 128µm (micron) Ceramic Ferrule, 3mm Black Boot
MSTC1100
Amphenol Fiber Systems International COTS M83522/16-DNX ST Multiode Connector, Stainless Steel Body, 128um Pre-Radius Zirconia Ferrule, 3.0mm Black Boot.
Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) offers ruggedized ST fiber optic connectors designed for both deployable and fixed military communication systems. These connectors meet the demanding requirements of MIL-C-83522, delivering reliable optical performance in harsh environmental conditions.
The M83522 MIL-SPEC ST connector features a higher spring force than commercial ST fiber connectors, enabling it to withstand the shock and vibration requirements specified in MIL-C-83522. Its stainless steel construction ensures exceptional mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
The Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) version of the ST connector, which is U.S. Navy approved, provides the same rugged design but with a spring force more aligned with commercial ST connectors. Its ideal for use in shock-isolated environments or where interoperability with commercial electronics is required. The COTS version is well suited for applications demanding corrosion resistance and mechanical strength without full MIL-SPEC qualification.
