Optical Connectors & Components
Moog offers a wide range of robust, reliable, and high-performing fiber optic cable assemblies and harnesses to support customers working to integrate optical communication into their systems. Focusing on ruggedized and harsh environment applications, Moog brings their expertise as an industry leader in the Fiber Optic Transceiver space into the fiber optic interconnect market. Combining in-house component designs with qualified connectors termini and cable sourcing, Moog produces finished flight-ready assemblies to meet or exceed the requirements of the commercial and military aerospace environments. Moog works with customers from the initial design phase through the manufacturing process, and provides support for these assemblies years after initial installation.
Termini
ARINC 801 Singlemode Terminus
Using industry standard optical wavelengths from 1260-1620nm, the ARINC 801 singlemode terminus can support legacy networks as well as future industry demands. Capable of being integrated with multiple fiber types and construction, the ARINC 801 singlemode terminus supports multiple speeds and protocols with low optical losses.
ARINC 801 Multimode Terminus
The robust construction of the ARINC 801 multimode terminus makes a suitable choice for the ever-increasing needs of an aerospace fiber optic network. Designed with optical Link Loss in mind, the ARINC 801 multimode terminus is a low loss option to handle the increasing number of interconnects found in modern networks.
C-Beam™
Moog produces the highest quality simplex cable assemblies for aerospace, military, and industrial applications. 100% of the termination end-face geometry and end-face quality is inspected after being polished with manual and automated software. The cables are also 100% measured for Insertion Loss performance.
POF M29504
Moog manufactures complex fiber optic cable assemblies using the highest quality materials and processes available. Our facility includes redundant manufacturing and test equipment including automated polishers, programmable curing ovens, interferometers, video microscopes with Pass/Fail software, and high-resolution OTDRs with no dead zone and accuracy to 40 microns. All cabling, connectors, termini, and accessories go through incoming inspection, manufacturing and assembly, and final testing following standard industry procedures, specifications, and customer requirements.
LC
Compact pull proof design, tamper resistant plastic tab.
Lightly™ Fiber Optic Terminus
Building upon the ARINC 801 terminus robust design, the Lightly™ terminus serves as the next iteration in usability for the existing design. By incorporating the ARINC 801 insertion and removal mechanism into the Lightly™ terminus body, users will no longer need to carry a separate tool into a production or maintenance area.
Connectors
LC Rugged
The LC Rugged™ (LC-R) is an all-metal construction LC connector with a latching screw system that offers a highly reliable and separable interface. Standard plastic LCs can sag over time and temperature while the the LC Rugged™ offers a more secure metal connection.
LC Tab
The LC Tab™ (LC-T) is an all-metal body and retention clip constructed LC connector with a proprietary retention mechanism that offers a highly reliable and separable interface. Standard plastic LCs can weaken over temperature, repeated stresses, and shock and vibration, while the LC-T offers a highly secure metal connection.
LC-801™
The LC-801 is an LC Plug to ARINC 801 receptacle adapter utilizing features found in the Moog's LC Rugged (LC-R) and industry standard ARINC 801 terminus. The LC-801 turns LC receptacles into avionics grade interfaces allowing for factory or easy installation using Moog's LC-Rugged hardware.
LC-T801™
The LC-T801 is a receptacle adapter that converts an LC receptacle into a 1.25mm ARINC 801 receptacle utilizing features found in the Moog LC Tab (LC-T) connector and industry-standard ARINC 801 terminus retention features. These design features allow transceivers with LC receptacles to upgrade to a more rugged ARINC 801 style terminus.
Passive Components
Optical Splitter/3155
A split fiber with a lens used to demux multiple wavelengths into their isolated path.
SpliceWORKS™
SpliceWORKS™ is a rugged mechanical splice for harsh environments where the removal of the fiber cable is not an option to repair a break. An on-site repair can be accomplished in less than 30 minutes when used with the field deployable kit which includes the equipment and material to perform the splice. The resulting splice has a pull-force rating equivalent to OEM cable construction, eliminating the splice as a weak or non-compliant point in the cable.
ASR
The POF ASR allows the connection of POF ARINC 801 to POF ARINC 801 with EPX and ARINC 600 style connectors. The novel plastic alignment sleeves create an airgap between plastic optical fiber endfaces, allowing repeated installation and removal cycles without endface damage.
CWDM Optical Multiplexer™
The POF ASR allows the connection of POF ARINC 801 to POF ARINC 801 with EPX and ARINC 600 style connectors. The novel plastic alignment sleeves create an airgap between plastic optical fiber endfaces, allowing repeated installation and removal cycles without endface damage.
