Optical Termini in MIL-C-38999 cylindrical
Multi-Channel Connectors
The Startop is a cylindrical
optical connector for multi-
channel
cables.
The
mechanical coupling is
achieved by a screw
locking mechanism of the
plug on the receptacle.
The optical connection is
made by a physical contact
between the two optical
termini (POM pin contact
and POM socket contact).
