The floating pin eliminates the need of using costly tight tolerance and hard to locate D38999/60 & /61 connector thus lowering the overall cost of ownership. The floating pin termini will self-align into standard connector formats thus improving the fiber optic pin to socket alignment resulting in improved insertion loss performance with a .006" radial and 3.25 degree angular misalignment. The floating mechanism helps to ensure precision alignment of the fiber ferrules in extreme environmental conditions of shock and vibration.
Floating design (< -0.5dB), low loss fiber
Vibration resistant
Precision floating ceramic ferrules
Stainless steel terminus body
Designed for use in size 16 cavities of the D38999 Series III connector
