FALCON Mini 38999 FP

Expanded beam connector in MIL-DTL-38999 size 11 footprint, available in Square and D-hole configurations.

The FALCON Mini 38999 FP combines Micropol's market-leading expanded beam technology with the industry-standard MIL-DTL-38999 size 11 footprint. The connector is designed for demanding environments where resistance to dust, dirt, moisture, vibration and mechanical wear is critical.

A key advantage is the ability to connect directly to tactical cables equipped with mini-size expanded beam connectors, eliminating the need for adapters and simplifying system integration. Since the connector maintains the same footprint as a standard MIL-DTL-38999 size 11 connector, it can easily be integrated into existing platforms and panel designs.

Equipped with Micropol's FALCON expanded beam lenses, the connector delivers market-leading optical performance with insertion loss below 1.2 dB and data rates up to 40 Gbit/s.

The product is available in two mounting configurations:

Square flange
D-hole flange

Both versions share the same optical performance and environmental specifications while offering flexibility to match different installation requirements.
