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 ber 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 ber cable extrusions. The Glenair Band-Master
™
ATS
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 strain-relief and environmental
protection of the cable to connector transition with it's unique Flex-Nut style tting. And unlike overmolded
solutions, the reinforced extruded cable/backshell package allows maintenance technicians to open the cable
for eld 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 specied
marking and labeling.
