SubscribeThe Stratos HTC based on a MIL-C-38999 series III, # 13, utilises the proven HMA expanded beam insert, housed in a standard MIL-C-38999 shell.
Already approved in the aerospace industry, the HTC is a perfect solution to upgrade current MIL-C-38999 applications where physical contact technology does not suffice for the harsh environment. The innovative designs ensure its ability for deployment in the toughest environments where high performance and total reliability are critical.
Optical Hybrid Threaded Connector
The HTC is an excellent solution where high vibration is experienced and excellent performance levels need to be maintained for applications such as aerospace, oil & gas, industrial and mass transit.
Benefiting from Stratos expanded beam technology, with a long and proven industry track record, the precision optical alignment creates immunity from water, mud, dust, oil and other contaminants.
The HTC follows our unique designs where the connectors can be fully field repairable.
