Developed and produced by Packard-Hughes Interconnect
(PHI), the MIL-C-28876 Fiber Optic Connector features low
optical insertion loss, repeatability, exceptional strain relief,
and reliability in harsh environments. This connector is used
extensively by the United States Navy in shipboard applica-
tion and has been on the United States Government's
Qualified Products List since 1983.
• Available in 2, 4, 6, 8, and 31 channel configurations
• Single and multi-mode capability
• Full environmental sealing
• Utilizes field-proven MIL-T-29504 Termini
• Field maintainable

OPTICAL PERFORMANCE DATA
Consult factory for non-standard and custom specifications. The average insertion loss is .5dB for ceramic termini. These
figures are derived from actual field measurements taken from thousands of mated pairs of termini across our line of multi-
channel connectors. The source launch wavelengths were 850 and 1300 nanometers.
