The MIL-83526 DM connector is the most recent product developed for harsh environments. It incorporates four termini based on DIAMOND's two-component ferrules, assembled with our Active Core Alignment (ACA) process for unparalleled optical performances. This connector is available for MM, SM (PC/APC) and small core single mode fibre, polarization-maintaining (PM) fibre, and other specialty fibre types. Furthermore, this connector can also include electrical contacts for hybrid E/O applications.
DIAMOND has been recognised as a world leader in providing high-precision, fibre-optic interconnect solutions for more than 30 years, and offers a comprehensive line of rugged, high-performance and practical connectors specifically designed to provide maximum flexibility, modularity and durability in challenging conditions.
