Six Reasons to 

Upgrade to Fiber Optics: 

1. Reduced Weight 

Compared to copper, optical fiber is relatively 

small in size and light in weight —a major 

advantage in interconnect systems servicing 

airborne avionics. As a practical matter, optical 

fiber is simply easier to install—especially in 

retrofit programs—because the smaller cable 

diameters can fit comfortably within the footprint 

or layout of existing electrical conduits 

and harnesses. 

2. Reduced Size 

Fiber media is also significantly smaller 

than copper. This reduction in size makes it 

possible to run multiple backup cables for each 

electronic system or device. The ability to provide 

complete redundancy for all critical cabling 

is a major motivating factor driving the use of 

fiber optics in mission-critical systems. 

3. EMI Immunity 

Optical fiber is particularly useful in highreliability 

applications due to its electromagnetic 

immunity. Since fiber optic media uses 

light to transmit signals, it is not subject to 

electromagnetic interference, radio frequency 

interference or voltage surges, and so provides 

greater transmission reliability. 

4. Spark/Arc Immunity 

The total electrical isolation of fiber also 

makes it a safer, spark-free media for use in hazardous 

environments, such as aircraft fuel cells. 

5. Enhanced Security 

This characteristic also provides for enhanced 

transmission security, as light pulses, 

unlike electrical signals, are almost impossible 

to intercept or monitor. 

6. Huge Bandwidth 

Fiber can transmit a mind-boggling quantity 

of data with extremely good transmission quality. 

Two strands of optical fiber, both no thicker 

than a human hair, can transmit the equivalent 

of 24,000 telephone calls simultaneously. By 

way of comparison, two strands of copper wire 

can transmit but a single phone conversation— 

in a much heavier and larger cable. The smaller 

and lighter fiber strand has over 150 times the 

data carrying capacity of the bulkier copper 

cable! Additionally, data is typically transmitted 

digitally (the natural form for computerized 

equipment) which reduces translation errors 

and bottlenecks. Simply put, fiber can transmit 

signals over the longest distance at the lowest

Interconnect Junction and Media Storage 

In this application, Glenair was able to provide a complete, turnkey 

interconnect assembly which included both the light-weight composite 

junction box, as well as the conduit, fittings, fiber optic connectors and 

termini. Termination and test of the fiber media and installation of all 

fittings was completed at the factory to ensure quality and to facilitate 

fast installation in the field. The box doubles as an environmentally 

controlled storage area for additional lengths of fiber-optic cable. In 

the event a termination is damaged, both the conduit and box may be 

opened to access the termini and the wire-loops for easy repair.

chosen for their ability to reduce the 

size and weight of the interconnect 

package while improving the safety, 

reliability and performance of the 

flight control system. 

Harsh Environment 

Fiber optic communications 

technology needs to be able to 

withstand heat, cold, rain and 

other environmental abuse— 

that is if it is intended to survive 

in exposed applications such as 

office roof-tops and utility poles.

assembly provides Singlemode

a "last-mile" wireless fiber optic 

radio network. The cable interconnects 

roof-top transmission

Introduction 

Fiber Optic Operation 

Today, the use of fiber optic systems to carry 

digitized video, voice and data is universal. In 

business and industry, fiber optics have become 

the standard for terrestrial transmission of 

telecommunication information. In military and 

defense, the need to deliver ever larger amounts 

of information at faster speeds is the impetus 

behind a wide range of retrofit and new fiber optic 

programs. Although still in its infancy, fly-by-light 

flight control systems may someday replace flyby-wire 

systems with cabling which is both lighter, 

smaller and safer. Fiber optics, combined with 

satellite and other broadcast media, represents

of the actual light pulses. Using a lens, the light 

pulses are funnelled into the fiber optic connector 

(or terminus), and transmitted down the line. 

Light pulses move easily down the fiber optic 

line because of the principle of “total internal 

reflection,” which basically holds that whenever 

the angle of incidence exceeds a certain value, 

light will not emit through the reflective surface of 

the material, but will bounce back in. In the case 

of optical communications systems, this principle 

makes it possible to transmit light pulses down a 

twisting and turning fiber without losing the light out 

the sides of the strand. 

At the opposite end of the line, the light 

pulses are channelled into the “decoding” ele-

the new world order for both commercial telecommunications 

as well as specialized applications 

in avionics, robotics, weapon systems, sensors, 

transportation and other high performance environments. 

Functionally, fiber optic systems are similar to 

the copper wire systems they are rapidly replacing. 

The principle difference is that fiber optics 

use light pulses (photons) to transmit data down 

fiber lines, instead of electronic pulses to transmit 

data down copper lines. Other differences are 

best understood by taking a look at the flow of 

data from point to point in a fiber optic system. 

The “encoding” side of an optical communication 

system is called the transmitter. This is 

the place of origin for all data entering the fiber 

optic system. The transmitter essentially converts 

coded electrical signals into equivalently coded 

light pulses. A light-emitting diode (LED) or an 

injection-laser diode (ILD) is typically the source

ment in the system, known as the optical receiver 

or detector. Again, the actual fiber to detector 

connection is accomplished with a specialized 

fiber optic connector/terminus. The purpose of an 

optical receiver is to detect the received light incident 

on it and to convert it to an electrical signal 

containing the information impressed on the light 

at the transmitting end. The information is then 

ready for input into electronic based devices, such 

as computers, navigation control systems, video 

monitors and so on. 

Cable Construction

There are typically five elements that make 

up the construction of a fiber optic cable: the optic 

core, optic cladding, buffer, strength member and 

outer jacket. The optic core is the light-carrying 

element at the center of the optical fiber. It is 

commonly made from a combination of highly 

purified silica and germania. Surrounding the

core is the optic cladding made of pure silica. 

The combination of these materials makes the 

principle of total internal reflection possible, as the 

difference in materials used in the core and the 

cladding creates an extremely reflective surface 

at the point in which they interface. Light pulses 

entering the fiber core reflect off the core/cladding 

interface and thus remain within the core as they 

move down the line. 

Surrounding the cladding is a buffer material 

which acts as a shock absorber to protect the 

core and cladding from damage. A strength member, 

typically Aramid, surrounds the buffer adding 

critical tensile strength to the cable to prevent 

damage from pull forces during installation. The 

outer jacket protects against abrasion and environmental 

damage. The type of jacket used also 

defines the cable's duty and flammability rating. 

Rays of light passing through a fiber do not 

travel randomly. Rather, they are channeled into 

modes—the thousands of possible paths a light 

ray may take as it travels down the fiber. A fiber 

can support as few as one mode and as many 

as tens of thousands. The number of modes in 

a fiber is significant because it helps determine 

the fiber's bandwidth. Multimode fiber has a 

much larger core than singlemode fiber, allowing 

hundreds of rays of light to propagate through 

the fiber simultaneously. Singlemode fiber has a 

much smaller core, allowing only one mode of light 

to propagate through the core. Paradoxically, the 

higher the number of modes, the lower the bandwidth 

of the cable. The reason is dispersion. 

“Modal” dispersion is caused by the different 

path lengths followed by light rays as they bounce 

down the fiber (some rays follow a more direct route 

down the middle of the fiber, and so arrive at their 

destination well before those rays which waste their 

time bouncing back and forth against the sides). 

“Material” dispersion occurs when different wavelengths 

of light travel at different speeds. By reducing 

the number of possible modes, you reduce modal 

dispersion. By limiting the number of wavelengths of 

light, you reduce material dispersion. 

Singlemode fibers are manufactured with the

smallest core size (approximately 8 - 10 um in diameter) 

and so they eliminate modal dispersion by forcing 

the light pulses to follow a single, direct path. The 

bandwidth of a singlemode fiber so far surpasses the 

capabilities of multimode fiber that its informationcarrying 

capacity is essentially infinite. Singlemode 

fiber is thus the preferred medium for long distance 

and high bandwidth applications. 

Multimode fiber is generally chosen for applications 

where bandwidth requirements fall below 

600 MHz. Multimode fiber is also ideally suited for 

short distance applications such as interconnect assemblies 

used within a single premise or contained 

space. Because of its larger size, multimode fiber 

is easier to polish and clean than singlemode, a

and inexpensive ST type connectors at the many 

termination points in the system. The connectors 

used in such applications are typically commodity 

solutions geared to the low to moderate 

performance and reliability requirements of that 

industry. At the other end of the spectrum, fiber 

optics deployed in military avionics take the form 

of highly engineered interconnect harnesses and/ 

or multi branch conduit systems. The connectors 

used in such applications accommodate multiple 

fiber optic cables and typically utilize precision 

contacts, or termini, as the primary mechanism for 

aligning and connecting the optical fibers. 

In many such aerospace applications, fiber 

optics are being employed as replacements or 

upgrades to existing copper conductor cable 

harnesses servicing existing black-box flight 

deck equipment, weapon systems, surveillance 

cameras, sensors, and so on. In all applications 

of this caliber, the new fiber optic system must

High-Reliability Connectors 

Glenair's High-reliability fiber optic 

connectors, such as our D38999 style products, 

are built to ensure precise optical alignment 

of optical fibers. Connector polarization keys, 

keyways and optical cavities are manufactured 

to tighter tolerances than required by general 

commercial specifications to reduce radial 

misalignment and insertion loss. 

Such connectors also have a bottoming 

surface design for reliable shell-to-shell 

bottoming. This ensures the linear dimensional 

relationship of the contact termini are the same 

after each connector mating because the 

connector effectively seats at a predetermined 








Connectors and Termini 

location each and every time. This location, or 

datum surface, provides a reference location back 

to the terminus retention clip. The pin and socket 

location is dimensioned from this stable bottom 

to acheive a repeatable and reliable connection. 

Conductive surface plating ensures EMI/RFI 

penetration into the electronics equipment area 

is effectively cut off. Precision molded shells and 

insulators provide closely controlled dimensions 

with little variability from one part to the next. 

Fiber Optic Interconnect Termini 

Fiber optic connectors are designed to be 

connected and disconnected many times without 

affecting the optical performance of the fiber 

circuit. Connectors can be thought of as transition 

devices which make it possible to divide fiber 

optic networks into interconnected subsystems 

and to facilitate the attachment of individual 

branches of the system to a transmitter, receiver 

or another fiber. The MIL-DTL-38999 connector 

is currently the most commonly specified multi-pin 

cylindrical interconnect in both fiber and copper 

conductor aerospace applications. When used to 

connect multiple strands of fiber simultaneously, 

the D38999 connector functions as a container or 

shell for the precision termini which perform the 

actual marriage of the fiber strands. 

Over the past two decades there have been 

dramatic tolerance improvements in terminus 

design to ensure precise, repeatable, axial and 

angular alignment between pin and socket termini 

within the connector shell. Ferrule design, critical 

to the performance of the termini, has traditionally 

relied on a machined stainless steel ferrule incorporating 

a precision micro-drilled hole. 

Glenair’s fiber optic termini for D38999 Series 

III connectors are qualified to MIL-PRF-29504/4 

and /5 requirements. Unique precision ceramic 

ferrules, with concentricity and diametric tolerances 

controlled within a micron (.00004 of an inch), 

meet the needs of high bandwidth and low allowable 

insertion loss applications. Glenair’s ferrules 

are approximately 10 times more accurate than 

alternative designs, and have reduced insertion 

loss values from 1.5dB to less than .5dB.

Introduction


Introduction 

Glenair custom single and multichannel 

fiber optic connectors utilize the latest composite 

thermoplastic materials technology and are 

designed for use with Glenair’s family of fiber 

optic connector accessories. 

Fiber Optic Backshells 

Fiber optic strands are robust and reliable. 

But they may not be manhandled (clamped, 

bent, or crushed) with the same vigor one might 

employ when working with a fat copper conductor. 

For this reason, fiber optic connector and cable 

accessories are designed to reduce bending 

and to eliminate compression forces. Needless 

to say, conventional connector backshells such 

as cable clamps and strain reliefs which apply 

compression forces directly to the cable, are not 

appropriate for use in fiber optic assemblies. 

Likewise, accessory elbows, conduit transitions, 

and other fittings which subject fiber optic cables 

to abrupt changes in direction beyond the 

acceptable bend radius of the fiber are equally 

risky. In both cases, the dangers are either 

outright breakage of the fiber optic core or 

attenuation of the optical signal. 

Glenair’s composite thermoplastic fiber 

optic accessories—including elbows, transitions 

and end-bells—are designed with smooth 45° 

or 90° bends to insure the non-abrupt routing of 

the cable. Composite Qwik-Clamps and heat 

shrinkable boots provide strain relief without 

applying severe compression to the cable. 

Glenair’s cable overmolding capability enables 

the integration of unique straight or angular 

shapes directly into the cable to insure the best 

possible fiber position and alignment. 

Glenair’s FiberCon ® Backshells are 

specifically designed to meet the unique 

requirements of the media. For both single 

fiber leads as well as multichannel applications, 

FiberCon ® provide full support and vibration 

dampening while allowing the fiber to “float” as 

required to eliminate micro-bending. Fiber optic

Costs and Benefits 

terminations differ from electrical in one critical 

way: during connector mating the fiber optic 

spring-loaded socket or pin retracts from .040 

to .080 inches. It is critical that the backshell 

design accommodates this movement within the 

shell cavity to prevent data loss due to micro 

bending which leads to localized light refraction. 

The unique rubber support grommet utilized 

in Glenair’s design employs the same layout 

pattern as the connector shell—providing both 

necessary axial alignment, as well as strain 

relief and float. 

Fiber Optic Costs and Benefits 

When evaluating the costs and benefits of 

moving to fiber, it is important to adopt both a 

short and long term view. In the short term, it 

is arguably less expensive to simply continue 

using copper cabling to meet an incremental 

expansion of data communication needs. This 

avoids the expense of adding the transmitters, 

converters, repeaters, connectors, termini, 

receivers and so on needed for integrating 

optical fiber into an existing electronic system. 

Taking the long view, investing in the 

conversion to fiber optics often makes good 

sense, especially given the performance 

benefits—EMI immunity, security, weight 

reduction, bandwidth, etc.—as well as cost 

of-ownership factors such as reduced cable 

maintenance costs and ease of installation. 

The ability to more easily accommodate future 

bandwidth requirements as well as the ability to 

incorporate redundant fibers for improved safety 

and reliability further reduces the long-term 

cost-of ownership. Glenair has worked closely 

with engineers on a broad range of programs— 

from the F-22 to the RAH-66 Helicopter—to 

analyze system requirements and to design 

high-reliability fiber optic solutions that meet 

both short and long term cost requirements, and 

the life-cycle projections for the application.

Introduction 

Fiber Optic Connector and 

Cable Packaging 

The packaging and layout of a fiber optic 

interconnect assembly can vary widely depending 

on the application environment. Fiber optics 

deployed in military avionics, for example, may 

take the form of a simplex pigtail connector 

assembly when fiber is used to interconnect the 

optical transmitter/receiver inside an equipment 

enclosure to the outside world via a panel 

mounted receptacle connector or feed through 

adapter (see figure 1). Rugged, environmental 

applications, such as a weapon interconnect 

cable intersecting a fuel tank may require more 

ruggedized cable construction (figure 2). 

Specialized interconnect technologies, 

including unique backshells, conduit transitions, 

fiber alignment grommets and so on are regularly 

employed by Glenair to ensure the fiber optic 

media is protected from environmental and 

physical damage, and meets the installation 

and repairability requirements of the application. 

The following guide to fiber optic interconnect 

packaging provides an overview of the most 

common layouts used in high-reliability applications: 

Packaging Solutions for Inside the Box 

When fiber leads are used within equipment 

enclosures or other protected environments, 

the interconnect assembly generally looks 

something like figure 1: a wall mount or jam nut 

mount receptacle connector (“A”) with simplex 

fiber leads. This receptacle connector is used to 

penetrate the enclosure and mate to the external 

environmental plug connector. 

The simplex leads within the protected 

enclosure commonly route to the transceiver 

optical device, and are terminated to common 

commercial connectors such as ST, FC, SC, LC 

(or other) connectors at the "B" end. 

Glenair can also supply pigtail assemblies 

of this type with a "FiberCon" backshell and/ 

or a protective length of conduit. This design 

approach ensures strict alignment of the fiber 

strands to the connector, optimum strain relief to 



Packaging Options 

the individual fibers as well as crush protection. 

The use of a short length of conduit and 

a small end-bell fitting is recommended in 

applications where a heat or abrasion source 

within the box may damage the fiber media. In 

most cases, analysis of the available space is 

critical to ensure such interconnect hardware 

does not interfere with the electronics package 

inside the box. This basic packaging is 

appropriate for any equipment—such as a radar, 

camera, shipboard console, antenna and so 

on—with an internal fiber wire servicing an optical 

transmitter/receiver. 

Glenair can supply the complete interconnect 

assembly, including the connector, termini, fiber, 

optional backshell fittings and conduit. Glenair's 

ASAP Fiber Optic Cable Sets are specifically 

designed for applications of this type.

Glenair high-temperature overmolded cable assemblies are ideally 

suited for fiber optic and hybrid fiber/copper applications in 

exposed, harsh environments. Overmolding of fiber is a unique 

Glenair strength, and has been utilized as a packaging solution 

in such diverse applications as fighter jet fuel-cell cables and 

roof-top telecommunication cabling. 

to factory termination and assembly. This is 

due to the rugged nature of the environments in 

which they are used. When fiber optic cables 

need to withstand rough handling, caustic and 

corrosive fluids or other sources of physical or 

environmental stress, the interconnect package 

needs to be extremely tough, and the cables are 

generally factory-terminated with the appropriate 

protective materials. Factory assembly is also 

called for when there are no restrictions or 

impediments to providing a pre-built harness 

or assembly, such as unpredictable distances 

between bulkheads or other site-specific routing 

problems. Factory-terminated fiber optic cables 

are typically multichannel, with sometimes as 

many as 30 fiber optic channels. Examples 

include ship-to-shore phone/data cables, fuel cell 

cable harnesses, intra-car railway cables, and other 

harsh environmental applications. 

The range of performance requirements 

for rugged, external cables includes strainrelief, 

environmental sealing, high tensile pull, 

crush resistance and chemical resistance. 

Electromagnetic shielding can also be a 

requirement in hybrid copper/fiber cables. 

Packaging generally takes three forms: (1) 

Overmolded cable harnesses, (2) Metal-core or 

polymer conduit assemblies, and (3) Armored 

cable equipped with environmental and/or shield 

terminating backshells. 

Overmolded Harnesses 

Overmolded designs are specified when field 

repairability is not an anticipated requirement 

and harsh environmental and mechanical 

stress conditions warrant extra protection of 

the fiber media and terminations. Overmolding 

technology employs specialized tooling to 

construct ruggedized, sealed transitions between 

the cable and the connector and any transition 

hardware. Overmolding is ideally suited for 

complex multi-leg harnesses because the 

many transitions are otherwise difficult to seal 

with conventional shrink-boots. Overmolding 

typically uses environmentally resistant jacketing 

such as Polyurethane. Overmolded cables are 

extremely rugged and can protect the factory 

terminations from a broad range of environmental 

and mechanical stress generation mechanisms. 

Glenair can integrate its own fiber optic 

connectors, backshell accessories, termini and 

cable into such cables—providing a complete, 

turnkey system. Glenair also offers point-topoint 

overmolded cable sets with plug-to-plug, 

plug-to-receptacle and receptacle-to-receptacle 

connectors as a standard catalog offering. And 

because termini-retraction is a critical requirement 

of MIL-DTL-38999 type connectors, Glenair's 

unique fiber-optic backshells which facilitate 

termini retraction and eliminate micro-bending are 

a critical component in every overmolded cable. 

Conduit Assemblies 

Conduit is a perfect material for the protection 

of fiber optic media and for the construction 

of factory-terminated assemblies. As a wire 

protection material, conduit has a number of 

unique advantages over other packaging, such as 

armored cable and even overmolding. First and 

foremost, conduit systems offer greater flexibility 

than other ruggedized designs. This is critical 

in applications such as intra-car railway data 







Introduction


Introduction 

Conduit provides an ideal packaging media for fiber optic 

cables. The material is highly flexible and can be terminated at 

the factory with a wide range of shielding, jacketing and other 

specialized materials. Conduit may be opened for maintenance 

and repair or to expand the number of lines. 

transmission lines where the ability of the harness 

to flex and bend with the repetitive motion of the 

rail car is a critical requirement. Conduit is also 

known for its excellent pull strength, high crush 

resistance, and relative light weight. Perhaps 

most important, conduit fittings and transitions 

can more easily be opened for repair or to expand 

the number of fiber lines. Additionally, conduit 

assemblies make use of a wide range of existing 

fittings and transitions, including lightweight 

composite versions, to meet virtually any 

configuration and lay-up requirement. 

Glenair offers complete in-house capabilities 

for the construction of fiber optic conduit assemblies. 

In addition to helically molded polymer materials, 

we also offer a metal-core conduit product 

which provides unmatched crush-resistance and 

EMI protection (for hybrid copper/fiber applications). 

Both styles of tubing may be outfitted at 

the factory with braided shielding and external 

jacketing, or supplied as discrete components for 

customer assembly. Glenair manufactures all the 

necessary branched transitions and fittings for every 

connector and/or feed through configuration. 




Reinforced Cable/Backshell Assemblies 

Reinforced extruded cable provides a third 

packaging option for rugged application environments. 

Multichannel fiber optic cable is available 

in a broad range of designs. Depending on 

customer requirements for fiber type, strength 

members, jacketing material and other component-level 

options. 

Glenair can extrude short-run fiber optic cable 

for most high-performance applications. The 

cable becomes the backbone of this packaging 

solution. A ruggedized, environmental backshell 

is an equally key component in the armored cable 

assembly. Such backshells allow for the termination 

of overall shielding, the provision of additional 

strain-relief and/or environmental protection of the 

cable to connector transition. 

But the most important design consideration 

behind the use of such specialized backshells is 

the ability to provide some level of repairability 

to the assembly. Unlike overmolded solutions, 

the reinforced extruded cable/backshell package 

Clam-Shell 

Design 

Swivel Fitting 

Design 

The fiber optic backshell pictured on the left features a 

unique "clam shell" opening, as well as a tensioning device to 

prevent overtightening of the backshell clamp. The assembly 

pictured on the right features a unique swivel fitting to prevent 

cable torque from affecting fiber alignment. Both are suited for 

use with standard extruded cable or conduit. 









allows maintenance technicians to open the cable 

for field service. Backshells are selected for functionality 

(strain-relief, shield termination, and so 

on) and for compatibility with the chosen connector. 

Glenair is able to provide turnkey assemblies 

of this type as well as all the discrete components 

—from the extruded cable to the backshells, connectors, 

termini, dust-caps and other fiber optic 

interconnect accessories. 

Packaging Solutions for Field Termination 

The third major packaging category for fiber 

optic interconnect applications covers those situations 

in which a pre-assembled cable or harness 

cannot be used due to the difficulty of cable installation 

and routing. A classic example is found in 

shipboard installation, where the fiber optic cable 

often has to travel a great distance between the 

various equipment components in the system. A 

below-deck control room, for example, may rely 

on sensors or communications equipment located 

on the mast of the ship. Between these two elements 

lies a complicated maze of deck-plating, 

impenetrable bulkheads and kick-pipes. 

Obviously, it would be impossible to install 

a factory-terminated assembly into this maze of 

holes and walls. So, long (trunk) cable runs are 

completed from point “A” to point “B” and the termination 

of the fiber optic connector is completed 

on site at each end of the cable. The challenge is 

to provide technicians with the ability to strip back 

an adequate length of the cable to complete the 

Retractable Backshell 

Conduit Area 

Working Room for Termination 

individual fiber line terminations as well as some 

subsequent way to protect the stripped- back 

cable from environmental damage. 

One solution to the problem is to mount a 

junction box at each end of the system and bring 

the trunk cable into the box for subsequent termination 

of the contacts and protection of the media. 

Such junction boxes also aid in the routing and 

storage of the fiber leads. The boxes may be 

positioned in a centralized location to provide 

service to multiple pieces of electronic equipment. 

Additionally, long lengths of stripped cable can be 

sealed away in the box for subsequent repair and 

maintenance. Typical box configurations feature 

either convoluted tubing and environmental feedthrough 

fittings, or in-line and box-mounted fiber 

optic connectors. Glenair is uniquely positioned 

to provide integrated fiber optic cable junction 

boxes of this type. Our line of CostSaver Composite 

Junction Boxes are specifically designed 

for use in harsh EMI and environmental applications 

where field termination of fiber media is a 

difficult and cumbersome operation. 

Glenair’s background in providing fiber optic 

interconnect solutions for the navy has led to the 

development of some completely unique solutions 

for the field termination of fiber. Glenair offers 

a unique backshell and conduit assembly that 

perfectly suits this requirement. As the illustration 

below depicts, the Glenair retractable backshell 

and conduit assembly provides all the working 

room necessary for easy field termination of fiber.

Introduction 

Industry Leaders in Expanded Beam 

Fiber Optic Connectors and Cables 

for Harsh Application Environments 

Fiber optic and hybrid fiber/electric 

interconnect systems are now deployed in an 

increasingly wide range of commercial and 

military applications in sea, air, land 

and space. Fiber optic media is 

ideally suited for harsh applications 

where attention to electromagnetic 

interference, bandwidth, distance, 

size, and weight are critical 

requirements. From traditional 

butt joint connectors to the most 

advanced expanded beam interconnect 

systems, Glenair fiber optic solutions are 

perfectly suited for tactical military and other 

harsh weather, temperature and mating cycle 

applications.

STRATOS Lightwave 

Expanded Beam Technology Inside Expanded Beam Vs. Physical 

Physical Contact 

Contact Connectors 

Physical contact fiber optic connectors utilize butt-joint 

type contacts called termini. Mating pairs of termini may 

be integrated into virtually any connector shell design. 

The polished mating faces provide extremely low-loss 

transmission of optical signals but are best suited to 

clean and controlled environmental applications. 

Expanded Beam 

Expanded Beam connectors utilize a sealed lens to 

expand the emitting beam of light from the fiber media. 

The expanded beam is then refocused back into the 

fiber of the mating half. These sealed assemblies are 

ideally suited for environmental applications where 

optical connectors are subjected to repeated mating/ 

unmating cycles.

The Glenair Family of Qualified MIL-PRF-29504 Fiber 

Optic Termini and Composite MIL-DTL-38999 Type 

Connectors Provide Precise Optical Performance 

Better Ferrule Design Translates to Better Optical Performance 

Glenair’s unique alignment techniques maximize optical performance and provide reliable, 

repeatable interconnection of optical fibers. Ferrule design, critical to the performance of the 

termini, has traditionally relied on a machined stainless steel ferrule incorporating a precision micro 

drilled hole. Glenair’s unique precision ceramic ferrules, with concentricity and diametric tolerances 

controlled within a micron (.00004 of an inch) meet the needs of high bandwidth and low allowable 

insertion loss applications. In fact, Glenair’s ferrules are approximately 10 times more accurate than 

alternative designs, and have reduced insertion loss values from 1.5dB to less than .5dB (typical loss 

for Glenair termini is .3 dB). 

Connector System Accomodates Both Fiber Optic and Electrical Contacts 

Glenair's MIL-PRF-29504/4 and /5 Qualified Fiber Optic Termini are specifically designed 

for use in the D38999 Series III connector, and provide optimal performance when compared 

to other fiber optic termini. And because Glenair’s precision manufactured D38999 style 

connectors exactly conform to the MIL-DTL-38999 specification, they can accept standard size 

MIL-C-39029 size 16 electrical contacts as well. 

NOTE: M39029/58-364 size 16 electrical pin contacts and M39029/56-352 size 16 electrical 

socket contacts may also be used in hybrid configurations with the M29504 fiber optic contact. 

So, for advanced, tactical optical, electrical or hybrid optical/electrical applications, Glenair’s MIL- 

DTL-38999 style connectors provide maximum flexibility and performance.

The World's Only Short Lead-Time Source for Harsh 

Environment Overmolded F/O Cable Assemblies 

Overmolded Cable Assemblies 

Glenair’s overmolded cable assemblies are specifically designed to protect fiber optic and 

hybrid fiber/copper cables from the effects of moisture, heat, caustic chemicals and mechanical 

stress conditions. Glenair has been manufacturing these unique overmolded designs in 

fiber since 1984, and has produced tens of thousands of cables with zero real-time failures. 

Overmolding (as opposed to shrink boots or other sealing materials) brings added strength and 

environmental protection to critical interconnect systems. The overmolding process effectively 

isolates the transmission media from contaminating elements and protects the media from abrasion 

damage. 

Glenair's ASAP Overmolded Fiber Optic Assemblies are available with our full line of composite 

thermoplastic and metal alloy connectors. Polyurethane is the applied standard overmolding. 

For other overmolding material types such as Viton ® or Neoprene, please consult the factory. 

The turnkey assembly includes custom extruded cable, Glenair Backshell, MIL-DTL-38999 

Style Connectors, MIL-PRF-29504 Termini, Mil-Spec Dust-Caps and customer specified marking 

and labeling. Please specify minor customizations on your purchase order.

Field Repairable Banding Backshell Assembly 


The Ideal Solution for Combined Environmental 

Resistance, Field Repairability and Kevlar ® Termination 

Reinforced Cable/Backshell Assemblies 

Reinforced, extruded cable is an ideal packaging option for rugged application environments, 

and Glenair can extrude fiber optic cable for most high-performance applications. But 

while the cable is the backbone of this packaging solution, Glenair's ruggedized backshell is the 

component which gives the assembly its real functionality. The backshell allows for the convenient 

termination of cable shielding and/or the Kevlar ® strength member. Unlike other backshell 

designs, Glenair's assembly uses a simple, easy to use banding technology to terminate cable 

shielding and the Kevlar material used in fiber cable extrusions. The Glenair Band-It ® technology 

is fully tested and proven to meet pull strength requirements and is the quickest and most 

reliable way to terminate these materials. The Glenair backshell also provides additional strainrelief 

and environmental protection of the cable to connector transition with it's unique Flex-Nut 

style fitting. And unlike overmolded solutions, the reinforced extruded cable/backshell package 

allows maintenance technicians to open the cable for field service. 

Backshells are selected for functionality (strain-relief, shield termination, and so on) and 

for material compatibility with the chosen connector. The turnkey assembly includes custom 

extruded cable, Glenair Backshell, MIL-DTL-38999 Style Connectors, MIL-PRF-29504 Termini, 

Mil-Spec Dust-Caps and customer specified marking and labeling.

Glenair Terminated and Optically Tested Receptacle/ 

Pigtail Assemblies Are Ready When You Are 

Inside-the-Box 

The packaging and layout of a fiber optic interconnect assembly can vary widely depending 

on the application environment. Fiber optics deployed in military avionics, for example, may take 

the form of a Mil-Spec receptacle and simplex pigtail connector assembly when fiber is used to 

interconnect the optical transmitter/receiver inside an equipment enclosure to the outside world. 

When fiber leads are used within equipment enclosures or other protected environments, the interconnect 

assembly generally looks something like the assembly featured here: A wall mount or 

jam nut mount receptacle connector (“A”) with simplex fiber leads ("B"). The receptacle connector 

is used to penetrate the enclosure and mate to the external environmental plug connector. The 

simplex leads within the protected enclosure commonly route to the transceiver optical device, 

and are terminated to common commercial connectors such as ST, FC, SC, LC (or other) connectors 

at the "B" end. Glenair ASAP Receptacle/Pigtail Fiber Optic Assemblies are ideal for applications 

of this type, and are available with accelerated lead-times. The turnkey assembly includes 

fiber optic wiring, MIL-DTL-38999 Style Connector, MIL-PRF-29504 Termini, Mil-Spec Dust-Caps 

and customer specified marking and labeling.

Protective Conduit 

The use of a short length of conduit and a low-profile connector/conduit adapter is 

recommended in applications where a heat or abrasion source within the box may damage the 

fiber media. In most cases, analysis of the available space is critical to insure the additional 

interconnect hardware does not interfere with the electronics package inside the box. The 

packaging of a pigtail assembly with a protective length of conduit is appropriate for all types 

of equipment—such as radar units, cameras, shipboard consoles, antennas and so on—in 

which the routing of the fiber cable within the equipment enclosure may expose the media to 

damage. This Glenair ASAP Fiber Optic Pigtail Assembly is well suited whenever the prevention 

of damage to the fiber media inside the box is a design requirement. The turnkey assembly 

includes fiber optic wiring, Glenair Conduit Adapter, High-Temperature Convoluted Tubing and 

Shrink Boot, MIL-DTL-38999 Style Connector, MIL-PRF-29504 Termini, Mil-Spec Dust-Caps and

Upgrade to Glenair's composite 

thermoplastic backshells and accessories. 

or most applications, backshells and 

accessories made from aluminum, 

stainless and carbon steel are recommended. 

But for applications where additional 

weight savings and corrosion resistance 

are required, many customers are now 

specifying composite thermoplastic materials. 







Glenair is the recognized leader in 

composite thermoplastic research and 

development for the interconnect accessory 

industry. In fact, no one else has tooled

If "on time" is a promise 

you hope your vendors will keep... 

...your best hope is to 

place your orders with Glenair. 

ost interconnect accessory suppliers 

quote several months or more 

to make a backshell. At Glenair, we not 

only quote the shortest lead times in our 

industry—generally 2-3 weeks—we also 

do the best job by far of getting the work 

out when we say we will. While it's true 







we can’t promise we’ll always make our 

dates, we're confident we’ll be way ahead 

of whoever’s in second place when it 

comes to on-time delivery. And for those 

jobs which can't wait even 2-3 weeks, we 

offer over 35,000 part numbers in stock 

and ready for same-day shipment.

Rapid Prototyping and Production of Fiber Optic 

Connectors in a Wide Range of Custom Packages 

Unique Front Release Termini Facilitates Custom Connector Design 

The unique design of the Glenair 181-011 and 181-012 series fiber optic contact allows 

for rapid integration of optical media in a broad range of cylindrical and rectangular connector 

packages and systems. By placing the retention and environmental sealing components directly 

on the termini, Glenair is able to fabricate unique fiber optic connector shell packages without 

costly tooling and engineering. The secret is the integrated retention clip and environmental 

O-ring located directly on the contact. Glenair's in-house expertise and capacity for machining 

connector shells to the precise tolerances required in optical connection systems is the other 

half of the story. Finished connector systems perform at insertion-loss levels equivalent to other 

high-performance, tactical fiber optic systems such as MIL-DTL-38999 and MIL-PRF-28876. 

The Glenair Front Release Custom Fiber Optic Connection System has enabled Glenair to 

integrate optical media in Micro-D and D-Subminiature shells as well as in cylindrical bodies 

such as the 180-070 composite connector presented in this section. Please feel free to contact 

the factory for available and free application engineering assistance for both standard and 

custom fiber optic connection systems.

The following suggested procedure serves as a guide for proper 

assembly and installation of Glenair Part Number 630-015 

(GAP-017A) on Conventional Fiber Optic Cables: 

A. Install two O-Rings and a Jam Nut onto the 

Bulkhead Adapter. 

B. Determine the required distance from the 

Strain-Relief Ferrule to where the Optical Fiber 

cable Components (OFCCs) end (Note that the 

distance from the Strain-Relief Ferrule to the 

end of the Bulkhead Adapter is .56 inch). Next, 

strip back the Cable Jacket (or jackets) to the 

Ferrule location. 

C. Cut off the Kevlar Strength Members so that 

they are about 2.0" from the end of the Jacket(s). 

D. Place items (1) Shrink Tubing, (2) Backshell, 

and (3) Strain-Relief Ferrule on the Cable(s) 

in sequence shown. Keep these components 

at a convenient distance from the end(s) of 

the Cable(s) so they will not interfere with the 

subsequent assembly steps.

E. Line up the Strain-Relief Ferrule to the end of 

the Jacket(s) and fold back the Kevlar around 

the Ferrule. Be sure the Kevlar from all the 

Cables is spread evenly around the Ferrule. 

F. Use Kapton Tabe (Permacel P/N P224) or 

equivalent to tape around the Kevlar right at 

the end of the Ferrule. Trim off the excess 

Kevlar extending from rear of tape. 

G. Couple the Backshell to the Bulkhead Adapter 

and tighten the Coupling Nut securely by using 

Glenair Series 600 Backshell assembly Tools. 

Recommended Torque Value is 50 to 60 in-lbs. 

H. Slide each Shrink Tubing over the Adapter as 

shown and shrink them with a Heat Gun (Ref: 

MIL-STD-2042). CAUTION: Do not overheat. 

I. Prepare and terminate the OFCCs in 

accordance with established practices (Ref:

Glenair Conduit Systems, Fittings and Bulk 

Tubing Protect Fiber Media from Mechanical 

and Environmental Damage 

The Widest Range of Conduit Materials and Fittings in the Industry 

Flexible, high-temperature convoluted tubing is an ideal material choice for the protection of 

fiber media. The material provides a durable, highly-flexible enclosure for fiber optic systems, 

with end-fittings and transitions to meet any installation configuration. The crush resistant, 

helical conduit comes in a range of standard diameters and wall thicknesses. Glenair's Gamma 

Processed ETFE tubing is constructed from thermally-stable ethylene tetrafluoroethylene. Other 

available materials include FEP, PFA, PTFE and halogen-free, light weight PEEK. Connector 

adapters, end-fittings and backshells for bulkhead termination of conduit to panels or junction 

boxes are also available. 

Choose from Discrete Components or Turnkey Assembly 

Glenair is uniquely positioned in the industry to offer not only fiber optic connectors, cables, 

termini and other discrete components, but also to provide turn-key assembly services. This 

cabability is particularly strong in our assembly division. Glenair's fast turn-around assembly 

service leverages Glenair's vertically-integrated manufacturing facility. No matter what the 

challange—from a custom, molded backshell to a composite junction box—Glenair is able to 

integrate our fiber optic conduit assemblies with a broad range of unique technologies. Factory 

termination of fiber optic media adds quality and reliability to the final interconnect system. And 

because Glenair has also developed our own line of in-house tooling and testing equipment, we 

are experts at delivering 100% inspected and tested assemblies—first time and every time. For 

more information on our conduit assemblies, consult the factory or visit us at www.glenair.com

expertise extends from simple point to point 

assemblies to complex multi-branch and fiber 

optic systems. Today, we're building everything 

from overmolded fiber optic assemblies for 

marine use, to wheel-well assemblies for the 

world's leading aircraft manufacturers. 

Our in-house braiding and sleeving capabilites 

enable us to build both repairable and nonrepairable 

assemblies suitable for use in harsh 

electromagnetic and environmental conditions. 

We offer a complete range of jacketing, 

shielding and braided protective covering 

options including NBC (nuclear, biological, 

chemical) materials. 

From unique, one-of-a-kind conduit system,

Glenair Fiber Optic Extruded Cable is Ideal for 

Prototypes and Other Short-Run Applications 

Fiber Optic Cable Construction 

There are typically five elements that make up the construction of a fiber optic cable: the optic 

core, optic cladding, buffer, strength member and outer jacket. The optic core is the light-carrying 

element at the center of the optical fiber. It is commonly made from a combination of highly 

purified silica and germania. Surrounding the core is the optic cladding made of pure silica. The 

combination of these materials makes the principle of total internal reflection possible, as the difference 

in materials used in the core and the cladding creates an extremely reflective surface at 

the point in which they interface. Light pulses entering the fiber core reflect off the core/cladding 

interface and thus remain within the core as they move down the line. 

Surrounding the cladding is a buffer material which acts as a shock absorber to protect the 

core and cladding from damage. A strength member, typically Aramid, surrounds the buffer adding 

critical tensile strength to the cable to prevent damage from pull forces during installation. 

The outer jacket protects against abrasion and environmental damage. The type of jacket used 

also defines the cable's duty and flammability rating. 

Glenair's In-House Capabilities 

Glenair's in-house fiber optic cable extrusion line provides the capability to extrude a variety 

of short-run specialty cables from simplex to hybrid constructions. Options include a selection of 

strength filaments such as Aramid yarn and extruded outer jacket materials. Our in-house extrusion 

line is geared to short-run, prototype projects and other applications which do not meet the 

large cable manufacturer's minimum length requirements. For fast response on custom cables, 

please provide the factory with your exact needs (fiber type and size, cable type/construction, 

optical performance and so on).

Glenair Fiber Optic Test Probes and Connector 

Adapters Provide Accurate and Repeatable Testing 

of MIL-DTL-38999 Cable Assemblies 

Patented optical test and measuremenst system 

Traditional optical test harnesses are expensive and easily contaminated in normal use. Glenair's 

test probe, in conjunction with our precise-mating test adapter, offers a complete solution 

to optical test and measurement. The probe design offers precision alignment with the use of ceramic 

ferrules and alignment sleeves. The spring design offers the same termination pressure as 

the MIL-PRF-29504 terminus. The built-in insertion and removal tool on the test probe allows for 

quick probing from one channel to the next with repeatable performance. The probe also houses 

a rubber strain-relief boot to protect the optical fiber from potential bend stress. 

Specified by advanced military aircraft programs 

The Glenair fiber optic test probe system has become a standard tool for the field testing of 

fiber optic media in front-line fighter jets and other advanced aircraft. With the upgrading of so 

many avionic systems to fiber optics, the need for fast and efficient troubleshooting equipment 

has become paramount. The traditionally heavy and expensive test harnesses of the past are 

now being replaced with Glenair's lightweight and easy-to-use fiber optic test probes and adapters. 

Troubleshooting a shell size 25 MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Connector previously required 

an expensive test harness with 29 fiber optic terminations. Today, this test assembly has been 

replaced by Glenair with a single disposable probe jumper and a re-usable connector adapter. 

The system is now being used in advanced military aircraft programs as well as in naval weapons 

systems, sonar, video, audio, and a wide range of other military and commecrial applications. For 

more information on Glenair's patented Fiber Optic Test Probe and Connector Adapter System 

please contact the factory, or visit us at www.glenair.com.

Step 1 

The first step in using the optical test probes is to install 

each end of the probe cable assembly to the optical power 

meter and light source. Next, insert each probe into the 

calibration adapter. 

The test probe loss can now be recorded as a reference 

measurement or may be "zeroed-out."

Step 2 

Now you are ready to perform optical measurements on 

the fiber optic cable harness. First, select the proper Glenair 

D38999 Series III Probe Adapter. 

Now, mate or couple the adapters to each end of the 

cable harness. Next, insert each probe in the appropriate 

channel to be tested by pushing on the knurled area on the 

test probes. Read and record the optical performance. 

To measure the next channel, remove the test probe by 

pushing on the large diameter of the test probe. The probe 

can now be removed and inserted into the next channel. 

Re-establishing or verification of reference can be performed 

at any time by following Step 1.

Test Probes 

and Adapters

Sure, Test Harnesses Are a Great Way to 

Troubleshoot Fiber Optic Cables 

Until You Foul-Up the Contacts and Have to 

Throw the Whole Thing Away 

G 

lenair has a better idea: Our fast 

and efficient Test Probe and 

Connector Adapter Kits. The patented 

technology eliminates the need to 

produce and maintain expensive optical 

test harnesses which are so easily 

contaminated in normal use. With the 

Glenair Test Probe, the performance 

of each channel in a fiber optic cable 

can be quickly determined using an 

easy to clean and calibrate jumper. 

So say adios to the expensive test 

harnesses of the past, and hola to 

the Glenair Test Probe of the future. 

They'll save you time, money and 

headaches.

Glenair: One Stop Shopping for All Your Fiber Optic 

Interconnection System Tooling Requirements 

The Right Fiber Optic Tool for the Job 

Fiber optic connectors are designed to be connected and disconnected many times without 

affecting the optical performance of the fiber circuit. The key to this performance is the error-free 

termination of the contact terminus to the fiber circuit—a task which requires the use of a wide 

range of specialized tooling. Glenair's extensive experience in building fiber optic interconnect 

cables has enabled us to select the right tools for each step in the termination and assembly 

process. Our Fiber Optic Termination and Test Probe Kits allow field technicians the convenience 

of completing final termination of precision termini on location for easy and efficient cable routing 

and installation. Each kit contains pin and socket polishing tools, jacket strippers, shears, scribes— 

literally all the tools and supplies required for ongoing termination and test of fiber optic systems. 

Polishing tools are also sold seperately for factory use or as replacement parts in field termination 

kits. 

The Band-It ® Shield Termination System 

The Band-It ® Clamping System provides quick, easy and highly-reliable termination of braided 

shielding or fabric braid. Glenair has designed banding platforms into a number of our specialized 

fiber optic backshells and conduit adapters. Individual clamping tools, bands and kits are available. 

Inspection and Cleaning Systems 

Glenair has selected the industry’s best Video Bore Scope Inspection System for efficient 

troubleshooting of fiber media. The Glenair video inspection system supplies everything you 

need to quickly and conveniently inspect and clean butt-jointed fiber optic contacts. Optional addons 

enable turnkey integration with computer desktops, digital cameras and powerful optical test 

software. The CleanBlast ® system creates a laminar flow of a highly filtered gas across the surface 

of the fiber. A solvent is then introduced and atomized to create a cleaning mist that leaves the fiber 

contamination free, ensuring that your cable is serving at its optimal performance.

manner: 

IMPORTANT: Due to Connector/Adapter 

circumference, it may 

be necessary to prepare the Band 

around the Cable or Retention 

Area. 

A. Roll Band through the Buckle 

Slot twice. (Bands must be 

double-coiled.) 

B. Pull on Band until Mark ( ) is 

within approximately .250 inch 

(6.4mm) of Buckle Slot (Figure

Glenair Fiber Optic Termini 

Cleaning Procedure 

Glenair has developed exactingly dimensioned cleaning swabs for 

cleaning difficult-to-clean, recessed socket termini. 

Each swab's foam tip is the perfect size to clean both the 

alignment sleeve and the glass core area of the fiber. 

Please follow these instructions when cleaning fiber optic termini: 

Glenair Recommends the Following Procedure for 

Cleaning Glenair Fiber Optic Termini: 

1. Remove loose contamination with a dry swab. 

2. Blow pressurized, filtered air (or instrument grade 

canned air) onto terminus end face. 

3. Inspect end face using 10X magnification minumum. 

4. If contamination is still present, take the following measures: 

A. Soak swab foam tip with 99%+ pure alcohol. 

B. Wipe the wet swab across the terminus end face. 

C. Wipe a dry swab across the terminus end face immediately 

to guard against potential air-dried alcohol film residue.

Four Reasons to Add 

Glenair to Your Short 

List of Suppliers: 

First and foremost you need 

availability. 

Are the products and components you need 

either in stock or able to be manufactured in 

a short period of time? Glenair has built its 

reputation on fast turnaround. We maintain the 

world's largest inventory of connector accessories 

and deliver faster turnaround on quotes and 

orders than anyone else in our business. Today, 

Glenair is changing the way the interconnect 

industry operates: from a long lead-time, custom 

order problem; to a fast response, in-stock solution. 

From connector accessories to fiber optic 

termini, Glenair is the "same-day" leader. 

Second, you need capacity. 

Can the supplier respond to your evolving 

requirements with the factory capacity and labor 

necessary to meet every demand—from one 

piece to one hundred thousand? Glenair has 

built the largest capacity, broadest capability 

factory in the interconnect accessory industry. 

We have the knowledge, experience and 

equipment necessary to handle any production 

requirement, no matter how large or complex, 

and the manpower to tackle even the most aggressive 

production schedules.

Third, you need 

convenience in ordering. 

Do your current suppliers insist on quantity or 

dollar minimums whenever you place an order? 

Are their products available only from distributors 

with limited product knowledge and equally 

limited shelf stock? Is it hard to get samples 

when and where you need them? Do you get 

charged expediting fees for accelerated production? 

If your answer to any of these questions 

is yes, we encourage you to consider Glenair, 

where complete convenience in ordering has 

been a guiding principle since 1956. 

Finally, you need 

top quality products backed by 

outstanding technical support. 

At Glenair, we've made product quality and 

worldwide technical support a major part of 

our approach to earning your trust and loyalty. 

We've established an unsurpassed sales, support 

and engineering presence in every major 

market in the world. And we've designed quality 

into every product we ship, by applying the 

experience and expertise gained from over 40 

years in the business. 

In every respect, our formula for serving the fiber optic interconnect customer 

is identical to the "best-value" service model we've relied on to maintain 

our leadership position in our core, connector accessory business: 

• No Price or Quantity 

Minimums 

• Outstanding Outstanding Application
