FOMC

ITT Cannon's EOMC Series Fiber Optic connectors are designed to meet the needs of military and commercial customers who require a rugged environmental multifiber field connector. The FOMC combines features which provide the user with a connector that will withstand rough handling and weather extremes with features of elastomeric cable and interface sealing, scoop proof interface to prevent optical contact damage, removable front insert for easy optical contact cleaning, anodized shell finish, and a tough, strong dust cap with attaching stainless steel strap.

Hermaphroditic design means plugs will mate with an identical plug as well as receptacles. The removable insert assures correcting mating and alignment. In the FOMC, ruggedness is combined with good optical erfomance, rapid coupling and attractive pricing. Another plus feature for ITT Cannon's FOMC design is the fiber flexure chamber which prevents tensile loads from being applied to the terminated fiber. The chamber provides space for surplus fiber in a service loop of sufficient lenght to permit one retemination of one or more fibers in the plug and cable receptacle without reterminating the strength member at the same time. This versatility is an ITT Cannon exclusive.

The FOMC 2, 4, and 8 channel connector are available as a cable plug, and several receptacle shell configurations. The 8 channel can also be used with less contacts i.e. 6,4, or 2 channels. Sealing plugs are supplied with the 8 channel connector when using less than the full complement of contacts.
