Introduction
Amphenol Fibre Systems International (AFSI) offers hermaphroditic fiber optic connectors for deployable fiber optic communication requirements. These connectors are designed to be the industry’s most rugged connector providing easy maintenance and superior optical performance.
AFSI’s line of FS3H hermaphroditic connectors allows the ultimate in flexibility. FS3H plugs can function as either a plug or a receptacle to fit any system design. With these connectors, cable assemblies can be daisy-chained to provide the required length of cable for each specific deployment condition.
The FS3H connector line meets or exceeds the pertinent requirements of SMPTE (Society of Movie Picture and Television Engineers) standard 358M on harsh environment multi channel fiber optic connectors suitable for deployment in demanding outdoor broadcast applications, including high definition television (HDTV) signal transmission.
