Fibre optic series provides highly customisable connectors

Designed for harsh environments that require high-speed and accurate data transfer, Cannon’s ARINC 801 series offers robust interconnects that operate at transmission speeds of 10Gb/s and higher, making them a perfect fit for In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity (IFEC), commercial and military avionics, ground-based communications and shipboard navigation.

“ITT Cannon’s comprehensive ARINC 801 fibre optic connector series is designed to meet and exceed the increasing need for high-speed, secure and reliable data transmission in the aerospace and defense industry, withstanding harsh and demanding conditions,” said Tom Cruz, Vice President and General Manager of aerospace and defense for ITT’s Interconnect Solutions business. “Our fast, lightweight ARINC 801 series enables ever-increasing bandwidths in modern commercial and military systems.”

“Our complete fibre optic manufacturing services include testing, inspection and polishing, as well as complex assembly of a variety of cable constructions,” said Diana Jenkins, fibre optics Product Manager, Cannon.

The series’ versatility allows for use in multiple applications, featuring a scoop-proof connector design that offers alternative keying position, and end-finishes in both APC and PC singlemode and multimode configurations. Termini are available in pull-proof and non-pull-proof types, providing a low loss, genderless solution for plug and receptacle applications. For easy and convenient field cleaning, the alignment sleeve is removable. Cannon’s size #16 termini also fully comply with ARINC 801 requirements.
