with removable alignment sleeve for easy
cleaning, maintenance and inspection
The ARINC 801 (Series 180-159) fiber optic connection system is designed for use in
RF-over-fiber applications, in-flight entertainment, avionics, and other high-speed data
networking applications. The Glenair ARINC 801 system utilizes MIL-DTL-38999 Series III
type connectors and is built in accordance with high-performance mil-aero mechanical
and environmental standards.
Key features of the system include genderless contacts, a removable
alignment sleeve retainer with guidepins to ensure low
insertion loss and return loss values. Singlemode (UPC and
APC) as well as multimode (PC) termini with familiar LC type
termination and assembly for complete flexibility
in cable choice and optical performance.
The keyed #16 AWG genderless termini
are equipped with ceramic ferrules and
stainless steel springs. A complete range
of insert arrangements is available in
accordance with ARINC 801.
