Fibre optic cable assemblies built around 38999 platforms on short lead times

Lane Electronics offers a quick turnaround service for standard and custom 38999-based fibre optic cable assemblies. Designed around the industry-leading Souriau 'Elio' high-performance fibre optic system, the company offers patch cords and jump leads as well as customer specific FO assemblies on surprisingly short lead times. Applications can include aerospace and defence systems as well as those where high data rates are essential while at the same time giving high resistance to challenging environments. The system provides an impressive optical performance making it capable of dealing with data speeds up to several Gbit/s. The company's fibre optic assembly service provides simplex or duplex cables terminated with Elio to Elio, Elio to LC or SC contacts - or any combination. These are then mated with 8D Series/MIL-DTL-38999 style connectors, backshells and heat shrink boots. Lane Electronics can supply these connector platforms with one to 24 contacts in aluminium, composite, stainless steel and bronze shells. Plating finishes include RoHS compliant zinc nickel and zinc cobalt.
