General Information

The Ultimate Harsh Environment, Field Deployable Fiber Optic Connection System

Most commonly used by the army for long-run battleeld photonic communications, the GFOCA

Connection System is also well suited to dockside naval communications, down-hole drilling and other

harsh environment applications. The hermaphroditic system uses low insertion loss butt-joint termini and a

ruggedized coupling mechanism for reliable, repeatable mating. The genderless mating system is rated to 2000

cycles, depending on ber media selection. Connectors utilize (GFOCA) MIL-PRF-29504/16 type (draft) termini

and are intermateable with other manufacturers’ ber optic connector systems.
