The Glenair High-Density size #18 genderless termini alternative to larger form-factor MIL-DTL-38999 fiber optic connectors. For military/aerospace applications that require reduced size and weight in a D38999-type package.
The system of choice for military and commercial air and space applications with aggressive size and weight requirements. Outstanding optical and environmental performance with nearly double the density of standard mil-spec, butt-joint solutions. Glenair High Density (GHD) is a complete fiber optic system with termini, connectors, cable and conduit assemblies, test probe adapters, tools, and more.
Same Optical, Mechanical, and Environmental Performance as D38999, at Nearly Double the Density
The GHD fiber optic connection system is a D38999 workalike designed for applications that require higher-density fiber optic insert arrangements with the same outstanding optical and environmental performance as MIL-DTL-38999. The GHD system accommodates a broad range of singlemode and multimode fiber media and offers insertion loss values less than 0.5dB (typical loss for Glenair termini is 0.3 dB). Dense cavity spacing is achieved with an innovative Size 18 genderless front-release terminus design that provides nearly double the density as the standard M28876 and D38999 fiber optic connector series. The GHD system is also available with APC Angle Polish to reduce unwanted back reflection. A removable Alignment Sleeve Retainer (ASR) makes for easy fiber optic cleaning and maintenance in plug connectors. GHD is a complete system that includes keyed and unkeyed termini, a complete range of connector configurations, backshells, accessories, test probe adapters, tools, and more.
- Innovative #18 (1.25mm ferrule) front-release genderless termini accommodate 900μ to 2.0mm jacketed fiber
- M85045/16 cable accommodation
- Composite, aluminum, or stainless steel shells with MIL-DTL-38999 mating and accessory threads
- Single key termini for APC polish available
- Better optical performance than D38999 with nearly double the density
- Precision alignment sleeve retainer with integrated guide pins
