FIBER OPTICS

Amphenol Military & Aerospace Fiber Optic Products

AMAO FIBER OPTIC PRODUCTS OVERVIEW
Amphenol Military and Aerospace Operations (AMAO) designs and manufactures reliable and innovative harshenvironment fiber optic interconnect solutions for all military and aerospace applications. AMAO is a global leader infiber optic interconnect components and systems, including both physical contact and expanded beam connectors,
fiber optic cable assemblies, and copper-to-fiber media converters. Our fiber optic interconnect solutions are based onhigh-performance optical termini, innovative design, and high quality, well-proven connector technology.
AMAO fiber optic interconnect solutions are tailor-made to meet the demanding requirements for customers
manufacturing mission critical and safety-related equipment. Accordingly, we develop long-term commitments andcustomer partnerships to provide maintenance, repair, training and technical support on demand. Rigorous internal
quality assurance systems exceed the ISO 9001 and AS9100 requirements and ensure consistent quality products
regardless of manufacturing location.

Why Choose Fiber Optics?
Fiber optic interconnect solutions are ideally suited for high speed, high reliability, EMI/RFI immune, digital datatransmission in harsh environment applications such as airborne avionics and computers, battlefield communications,and weapon systems.
A large amount of data, voice, and video has to be securely transmitted in these applications, sometimes overlong distances. Fiber optic links, with a large bandwidth and a small diameter, provide a fast, reliable, lightweight,
and simple method to transmit a huge amount of information between various systems. Fiber optic links only carrylight pulses making them immune to electromagnetic or RF interferences, which are a threat to the integrity of thetransmitted information.
Fiber optic links suit battlefield communication systems exceedingly well where secrecy and data integrity areparamount. Light pulses from fiber optic links can’t be detected or hacked, making the link virtually invisible.

5 Advantages to Choosing Fiber Optics:

Certifications:

1. Lower loss: Optical fiber has lower attenuation thancopper conductors, allowing longer cable runs andfewer repeaters.

•

ISO 9001:2000•

AS9100•MIL-STD-790•

EN9100:2003•

AQAP 2110•

ISO 14001•

Electronics Technicians Association (ETA) to train andadminister the Fiber Optics Installer (FOI) and theFiber Optics Technician (FOT) certifications.

2. Increased bandwidth: The high signal bandwidthof optical fiber provides significantly greater
information-carrying capacity. Typical bandwidths
for multi-mode fibers are between 200 and 600
MHz•km, and > 10 GHz•km for single mode fibers.
Typical values for electrical conductors are 10 to
25 MHz•km.
3. Immunity to interference and detection: Opticalfibers are immune to electromagnetic interference
and emit no radiation.
4. Electrical isolation: Fiber optics allows transmission
between two points without regard to the electricalpotential between them.
5. Decreased cost, size and weight: Compared tocopper conductors of equivalent signal-carrying
capacity, fiber optic cables are easier to install,require less duct space, weigh 10 to 15 times less,and cost less than copper.

UNDERSTANDING FIBER OPTICS
What is an optical fiber?
An optical fiber is made up of 3 concentric layers:•••

Core: The central section, made of silica, is the lighttransmitting region of the fiber.
Cladding: The first layer around the core, also made of silica, thatcreates an optical waveguide which confines the light in the coreby total internal reflection at the core-cladding interface.
Coating: Non-optical layer around the cladding. It typicallyconsists of one or more layers of polymer that protects thesilica structure against physical or environmental damage.

Single Mode Fiber:

Multi-Mode Fiber:coating
cladding
core

Fiber Sizes:
MM 100/140μm

Only one mode is propagated.
Light travels “straight” throughthe fiber. The core diameter istypically 9 microns.

Light travels through fiber
following different paths
called “modes”.

MM 200/280μm

MM 50/125μm

MM 62.5/125μm

SM 9/125μm

First number is Core diameter in microns.
Second number is Cladding diameter in microns.

Fiber Optic Cables:

The coated fiber typically has an external diameter of 250 microns and is fragile. It is usually necessary to build cables toreinforce the fibers and make them more durable and easier to handle. There are many different cable constructions.
Single Fiber Cables:

Multi Fiber Cables:

0.9 mm outer diameter
0.9 mm buffer

250 μm coated fiber

5.8 mm outer diameter 0.9 mm buffer

2.0 mm outer diameter
outer sheatharamid yarn (strength members)aramid yarn (strength members) 250 μm coated fiber

Fiber Optic Connectors:

A connector terminates the optical fiber inside a ceramic ferrule using epoxy to hold the fiber in place. The connectors
can be mated and unmated at any time. There are two types of connectors:

Physical Contact:

Expanded Beam Technology:

Direct contact of polished fibers within two ceramic
ferrules. The ferrules are aligned using a ceramicalignment sleeve.

A lens is placed at the exit of each fiber widening andcollimating the light, which is then captured and refocused in the receiving fiber.

Air Gap

Physical Contact

Angled Endface

Highest insertion loss:> 1.0 db
Worst return loss:< 14 db (Fresnel)
Multimode

Lowest insertion loss:< 0.3 db
Good return loss:> 30 db
Multimode

Medium insertion loss:< 0.3 - 0.7db db
Best return loss:> 60 db
Singlemode

Advantages:• Most common type of connection: rugged, cost-effective• Typically low (0.3dB) insertion loss
• Generally less sensitive to liquid contaminates (water, oil)

Advantages:• Easy to clean• Less susceptible to particle contaminants (dust and dirt)
Limitations:• Performance impacted by liquid/film on lenses• Mechanical interface between connectors must be precise

Limitations:• Signal loss is a function of alignment accuracy and polish quality

FIBER OPTICS MARKET APPLICATIONSHarsh Environments:
Amphenol is the world leader in harsh environment fiber optic solutions. From thebattlefield to the operating room, our products are specifically designed to provide
reliable, durable connectivity in the most demanding applications.

Mobility:
A robust connector design is paramount whenever mobility is required. Amphenol’sfiber optic connectors are specifically designed for fiber optic applications (notjust repurposed from copper connectors) to ensure data reliability in dynamic
environments.

Weight & Cost Savings:
Fiber optic cable is 10-15 times lighter than equivalent copper solutions (andcosts less as well). When weight and cost savings are a priority, fiber optics offer
engineers a lighter, more cost-effective alternative for data transmission.

Security:In the presence of an ever increasing cyber threat, fiber optics afford a greater
degree of security over copper. Amphenol’s fiber optic solutions are fielded insome of the most sensitive applications, from missile defense systems to homeland
security.

High Bandwidth:
In the data-rich world we inhabit, applications like 4K video are continuing to drive
demand for increased bandwidth. Fiber optics offer increased bandwidth (significantly greater information carrying capacity) over copper cabling. Typical bandwidths for multi-mode fibers are between 200 and 600 MHz•km, and > 10 GHz•km
for single mode fibers. Typical values for electrical conductors are 10 to 25 MHz•km.

EMI:
Because fiber optics are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and emit noradiation, our fiber optic solutions are ideal for electrically “noisy” environments.
Whether it be electromagnetic systems or flight-critical applications, Amphenol has
the right fiber optic solution to ensure data integrity is maintained.

Distance:

Because optical fiber has lower attenuation than copper conductors, it is ideal for
applications where loss due to long transmission distances would otherwise beprohibitive. This allows for longer cable runs and fewer repeaters. As an example,
the distance limitation for 1G over copper is approximately 100m, whereas 1G canbe transmitted up to 100km over fiber.
