Lightning D38999 Optical Transceivers

Protokraft Lightning series fiber optic transceivers integrate fiber optic transmitter and receiver functions into a MIL-DTL-38999 Series III receptacle connector.

The electrical interface to the Lightning series bulkhead optical transceivers is a 0.050” x 0.100” solder pin field enabling connection to a printed circuit assembly. The D38999, Series III aluminum shell provides a sealed optical interface that is water-tight to MIL-STD810 / IP67 / NEMA-4x when mated.

The multimode optical fiber interface supports applications where copper cable link distance, bandwidth limitations, weight or bulk make twisted pair, coax, twinax or quadrax copper conductors unacceptable.

Lightning series bulkhead mounted optical transceivers enable high speed network communications over long distances in harsh environments.
