The Glenair signature solution for rapid integration of fiber optic media in virtually any connector package. Unique-design size #16 ferrule system with integrated termini retention and environmental sealing.
The Glenair Front Release system allows for rapid connector integration of optical media by placing retention and environmental sealing components directly on the termini. GFR enables fast design and development of unique fiber optic connector shell packages without costly tooling and engineering.
About GFR Front-Release System
Glenair Front Release (GFR) fiber optic termini perform at insertion loss levels equivalent to the MIL-PRF-29504 termini designed for use in high-performance fiber optic systems such as MIL-DTL-38999 and MIL-PRF-28876. The GFR termini feature integrated O-ring sealing and retention clips, making them suitable for easy integration into machined connector cavities in virtually any form-factor connector. This approach has enabled Glenair to integrate optical media — with ruggedized, low dB loss performance — in Micro-D, D-Subminiature, and any number of custom connector shells, both rectangular and circular. This section of the catalog presents three examples of GFR connector integration. Contact the factory for availability and application engineering assistance for both standard and custom GFR fiber optic applications.
- Precision size 16 pin-socket front release termini with integrated retention clip
- Singlemode and multimode for all popular fiber sizes
