ARINC 801 Connectors
Physical Contact Connectors – Circular Connectors
Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) designs and manufactures the ARINC 801 cylindrical fiber optic connector suite for aerospace and military applications. This series, built on the commercial ARINC 801 specification, includes a removable alignment sleeve retainer (ASR) for easy termini end-face cleaning, guide pins for precise alignment, and a scoop-proof shell design. It comes in standard D38999 plug and wall mount shells, with inserts supporting 2 to 32 channels and compatibility with both PC and APC.
AFSI also provides the companion ARINC 801 terminus, designed with a standard 1.25mm ferrule and sleeve, allowing termination using standard LC procedures. A standard size 16 contact removal tool enables easy insertion and removal from the connector. Available in both multimode and single-mode versions, the fiber optic contact delivers low insertion loss (0.3dB max, multimode) and back reflection (-55dB, APC). Along with the standard PC end-face option, AFSI also offers the ARINC 801 termini with an APC end face for applications requiring reduced back reflection.
