2 qwik connect n january 2011 qwik connect 3 qwik connect n january 2011 f iber optic systems carrying digitized video, voice and data continue to multiply. high- speed fber optic interconnect technologies enable specialized applications in avionics, robotics, weapon systems, sensors, space and other high performance environments. precision-engineered fber optic contacts, or termini, are the key to delivering low data loss and reliable, repeatable performance in fber optic connection systems. the advantages of a connection system that can transmit the equivalent of 24,000 telephone calls simultaneously through fbers thinner than a human hair go beyond this mind-boggling data transmission rate. fiber optic systems save size and weight, are immune to emi interference, are electrically isolated for spark- free performance, and transmit signals that are nearly impossible to intercept for enhanced security. the challenge for many fber optic applications is environmental. with data transmitting through a fber core only 9.3 microns in diameter, a single speck of dust on a conventional butt-joint contact terminus could completely disrupt transmission. this might not be a problem in a controlled, sealed environmentbut a military communication shelter rapidly deployed in a windy desert, or a metropolitan commuter train speeding down a gritty, snow-covered track present less than ideal environments for fber optic operation. the revolutionary glenair eye beam ? expanded beam fiber optic terminus addresses these environmental challenges and delivers enhanced performance to fber optic interconnect systems. join us as we explore the use of the eye-beam ? fber optic termini in exciting and emerging felds. the eye-beam ? lens terminus advantage the glenair eye-beam ? fber optic terminus is a graded index lens-equipped, expanded-beam optical transmission system. it delivers outstanding performance in challenging environments and eliminates maintenance cycles. the low insertion loss eye-beam? ofers comparable performance to standard butt joint termini in a package thats built to withstand rugged use and frequent mating/de-mating in feld conditions. the glenair eye-beam? contact utilizes an innovative free-foating expanded beam lens and ultra-high precision ceramic alignment sleeves as well as custom designed nickel alloy terminus bodies to ensure perfect axial alignment and optimal optical performance. best of all, the eye-beam? can be integrated into virtually any circular or rectangular connector package. tactical field deployment mobile tactical shelters are an integral part of army and marine battlefeld communication systems. these mobile, rapidly deployable shelters provide a vital communication capability. voice over ip (voip) technology allows voice, video and data to be consolidated into one fber cable system, greatly simplifying deployment. the fber optic interconnect system for these shelters must be reliable in extreme environments, and able to stand up to rapid mating and de-mating in the feld. rapid daisy-chaining of tactical fiber cables tactical military applications rely on rapid, trouble- free deployment of interconnect cabling. glenair gfoca hermaphroditic expanded beam connectors and cables are the perfect solution for frequent mating and unmating of fber optic cabling in harsh application environments. the sealed eye-beam ? expanded beam interface prevents contamination of the optical path, while the hermaphroditic coupling provides operational fexibility and cost savings. glenair ofers both discrete connectors as well custom cable assemblies and feld- ready spooled cable sets. extreme harsh environments rail system interconnect design presents many challenges. reducing weight is a critical issue in high-speed and maglev rail systems. shielding electromagnetic interference is also important, especially in sensitive electronic systems such as engine monitoring and diagnostic sensors. basic mechanical protection of interconnect cables, conductors and contacts is a standard requirement especially when frequent mating and unmating is required, or when cables are routed through exposed intercar or undercar locations. to ensure r apid and accurate car linking and cabin reconfgurations, interconnects must be easy to couple and keyed to avoid mis-mating. vibration, shock and connector decoupling problems are also common in rail applications, and require focused attention when selecting shell materials and mating technologies. as passenger and crew safety is paramount, interconnection systems must not compound fammability, smoke or toxicity risks. butt-joint fiber optic terminus eye-beam ?

4 qwik connect n january 2011 qwik connect 5 qwik connect n january 2011 but make no mistake: the overriding challenge is environmental. rail and transportation systems represent one of the most challenging environments for the long-term survivability and reliability of interconnect cables and assemblies. from high-speed rail transportation systems to heavy railway freight lines, the standard daily fare of the rail industry is one harsh environmental challenge after another. glenair eye-beam ? fber optics in a ruggedized, reverse-bayonet connector package meet the environmental challenges of rail systems, standing up to shock, vibration, moisture, and temperature fuctuation while delivering the reliable high-speed data transmission advantages of fber optics. fiber optics for high defnition broadcasting fiber optic systems are implemented in remote television broadcast systems for sporting events or on-location news reporting. in the television industry this is known as electronic feld production, or efp. multi-camera video editing, advanced graphics and sound equipment must be reliable and portable, built into a truck or vana control room on wheelswhere space is at a premium. a single fber optic connection can simultaneously transport bidirectional digital and analog video, as well as two-way camera control, audio, data, sync, tally/call, prompter, and intercom signals between a high-defnition camera and the mobile studio truck. a fber optic system transmits signals digitally and optically, so broadcasters and producers are assured of the highest quality audio and video, free from interference or grounding problems. broadcast fber optic interconnect systems must be quickly deployable for on-location news broadcasting, and able to stand up to the rigorous conditions presented on the sidelines of a football game or a weather report from the site of a tropical storm. glenair eye-beam ? termini provide the space- saving and lightweight, yet rugged and durable connection that this exciting industry demands. eye-beam? solutions and future applications at glenair, we are serious about the business of engineering the right solution for every application. we continue to design and enhance fber optic solutions for standard military and commercial connectors, and develop new fber optic technologies for exciting new applications like robotics and future soldier systems. mil-dtl-38999 connectors the mil-dtl-38999 connector is currently the most commonly specifed multi-pin cylindrical interconnect in fber optic aerospace applications. when used to connect multiple strands of fber simultaneously, the d38999 connector functions as a container or shell for the precision termini which perform the actual marriage of the fber strands. glenairs unique alignment techniques maximize optical performance and provide reliable, repeatable interconnection of optical fbers. ferrule designcritical to performancehas traditionally relied upon a machined stainless steel terminus incorporating a precision micro drilled hole. glenairs unique precision ceramic ferrules, with concentricity and diametric tolerances controlled within one micron (.00004 of an inch), meet the needs of high bandwidth and low allowable insertion loss applications. in fact, glenairs ferrules are approximately 10 times more accurate than alternative designs, and have reduced insertion loss values from 1.5db to less than .5db (typical loss for glenair termini is .3 db). glenair has engineered eye-beam ? d38999 connectors for use in applications such as high defnition video camera equipment, high speed routers for long haul transmission, and military and commercial avionics applications. eye-beam? fiber optics in robotics robots are relied on in manufacturing and industry to do jobs in dangerous or dirty environments. they are also employed in increasingly complex tasks in bomb detection and disposal, earth and space exploration, laboratory research, and remote surgical systems. glenair cots (commercial of-the-shelf ) eye-beam ? fber optic termini can provide reliable high-speed data transmission in the challenging environments that these robotic applications present. gfoca hermaphroditic fiber optic connection system hermaphroditic coupling eliminates the need for adapters and male and female mating halves. hermaphroditic housings also allow for rapid deployment without the use of male and female mating halves or other adapters, creating low loss singlemode, multimode and hybrid daisy- chained links in a variety of insert arrangements the rugged and reliable glenair gfoca connection system with eye-beam? termini is used by the army for long-run battlefeld ground system communications, and is also well suited to dockside naval communications, down-hole drilling and other harsh environment applications. eye-beam ?

8 qwik connect n january 2011 qwik connect 9 qwik connect n january 2011 rays near the outside edge. also, rather than taking a zigzag path, light takes a helical curved path through the graded index fber which shortens its travel distance. the faster light rays at the edge of the fber arrive closer together with the slower straight rays from the center, allowing for a digital pulse with less dispersion. bandwidth is hundreds of times greater than step index fber. graded index multimode fber ofers the easier use and durability of a larger-core fber without the dispersion disadvantage of step-index fber. today, fber optic cable is an integral part of communication technology. from high-reliability graded-index multimode fber used in aerospace or military applications, to integrated plastic optical fber systems for automobiles, to high bandwidth singlemode fber cables that run across oceans, fber optic technology continues to develop and serve global information and communication needs. singlemode fbers are manufactured with the smallest core size (approximately 8 - 10 um in diameter), eliminating modal dispersion by forcing the light pulses to follow a single, direct path. the bandwidth of a singlemode fber so far surpasses the capabilities of multimode fber that its information-carrying capacity is essentially infnite. singlemode fber is thus the preferred medium for long distance and high bandwidth applications. multimode fber is generally chosen for applications where bandwidth requirements fall below 600 mhz and is also ideally suited for short distance applications such as interconnect assemblies used within a single premise or contained space. because of its larger size, multimode fber is easier to polish and clean than singlemode, a critical concern in interconnect applications which expose the polished ends of the fbers to debris during connector mating and unmating. two types of multimode fber step-index multimode fber this was the frst fber design, engineered with a relatively large coreup to 100 microns in diameter. some of the light rays take a straight path through the fber, while others bounce of the cladding and zigzag through. this causes the diferent groupings of light rays, called modes, to arrive separately at a receiving point. the pulse, which is an aggregate of diferent modes, begins to spread out and lose defnition, or overlap. this can be prevented by leaving space between pulses, but this spacing limits bandwidth. today, step-index multimode is typically used in plastic optical fiber. this is a large-core fber (1mm) used for low-speed, short distance transmission applications like home or industrial networks, home appliances, or video surveillance systems. it has also gained a foothold in automobile on-board information and entertainment fber systems like most and flexray. this low-cost technology has the potential to carry broadband access to increasing numbers of businesses and homes, but is not suitable for longer distances or the higher speed data transfer needs of some applications. graded-index multimode fber this type of multimode fber uses a core in which the refractive index gradually decreases from the center of the fber out toward the cladding. light rays moving straight down the center axis advance more slowly than fiber in focus: singlemode and multimode fiber optic systems f iber optics transmits data as light pulses down extremely thin strands of glass or plastic fber. singlemode and multimode are the two types of fber used in optical fber systems. rays of light passing through a fber do not travel randomly. rather, they are channeled into modesthe thousands of possible paths a light ray may take as it travels down the fber. a fber can support as few as one mode and as many as tens of thousands. the number of modes in a fber is signifcant because it helps determine the fbers bandwidth. both multi- and singlemode fbers have an outside diameter of 125 microns - a little thicker than a typical human hair. light rays travel through the core of the fber. multimode fber has a much larger core than singlemode fber (typically 62.5 microns for multimode compared to 9 microns for singlemode), allowing hundreds of rays of light to propagate through the fber simultaneously. singlemode fbers smaller core allows only one mode of light through. paradoxically, the higher the number of modes, the lower the bandwidth of the cable. the reason is dispersion. modal dispersion is caused by the diferent path lengths followed by light rays as they bounce down the fber (some rays follow a more direct route down the middle of the fber, and arrive at their destination well before those rays which bounce back and forth against the sides). material dispersion occurs when diferent wavelengths of light travel at diferent speeds. by reducing the number of possible modes, you reduce modal dispersion. by limiting the number of wavelengths of light, you reduce material dispersion, but both of these reductions in dispersion also reduce the information- carrying bandwidth of your fber optic system. dispersion multimode fber, with a wider core than singlemode, allows numerous light beams to travel in diferent paths through the fber but since the beams arrive at diferent times, the aggregate pulse of the modes is dispersed. cs long lines, a ship designed to lay the trans-atlantic fber optic cable for at&t. this ship was used to conduct the frst deep-sea trials of fber optic cable in 1982. at&t laid and opened the frst fber-optic cable across the atlantic in 1988. step-index multimode plastic optical fiber is used today in automobile on-board information and entertainment systems refractive index + - - slower faster faster dispersion graded-index multimode fbers core has a refractive index that decreases from the center to the edge. light rays moving down the center axis move slower than those at the edge, which take a curved path instead of zigzagging as they do in step- index fber. the modes at the edges arrive closer together with the modes in the middle which allows for less dispersion in the pulse. a singlemode fber has a much thinner core than a multimode fber. light pulses follow a single direct path. bandwidth essentially approaches infnitylimited practically to about 100,000 gigahertz.
