Fiber-optic connector boasts 10-Gbps speed

Cannon — ITT’s brand for interconnect solutions — has introduced customizable fiber-optic connectors for high-speed data transmission in commercial, military, aerospace, and shipboard applications. The ARINC 801 Fiber-Optic Connector Series from Cannon operates at 10-Gbps and higher speeds.

That makes this high-bandwidth interconnect solution a perfect fit for in-flight entertainment and connectivity, commercial and military avionics, ground-based communications, and shipboard navigation.

The scoop-proof connector design provides alternative keying position and end finishes for both single-mode and multi-mode fiber configurations. Cannon also provides termini in pull-proof and non-pull-proof types, which lead to a lower loss and a genderless solution for plug and receptacle applications.

Then, for easy and convenient field cleaning, the alignment sleeve is made removable. Cannon’s size #16 termini are fully compliant with ARINC 801 requirements. Besides fiber-optic connectors, Cannon provides complementary services such as testing, inspection, polishing, and assembly of a variety of cable constructions.
