MIL 38999 optical harness
Product description
The optical harness offered with our Laser Firing Unit is designed for high-reliability applications in defense, aerospace, and opto-pyrotechnic systems. It is available with single-mode or multimode fibers, in straight or fan-out configurations, depending on system architecture requirements. The harness integrates MIL-DTL-38999 circular connectors, ensuring mechanical robustness, environmental sealing, and full compatibility with existing military-grade infrastructures. Connector layouts are engineered for ease of cleaning, mating, and repeatable alignment under operational constraints. All assemblies meet rigorous standards for optical performance, mechanical strength, and field maintainability. They also have no electronics, no electrical wires inside.
- Easier handling
- Shorter integration time
- Mass reduction up to 50%
- Immune to EMI with excellent EMC
- Cost reduction (consumption, materials)
