Optical Cable Corporation (OCC®) introduces the F-LINK™ Inter-Connect platform, a versatile and unique connectivity component family. Born out of the proven performance of MIL-SPEC cylindrical components, the F-LINK Inter-Connect System is a cost-effective solution for commercial, industrial and military applications. The F-LINK Inter-Connect platform is a comprehensive family of connector components designed to solve a multitude of fiber optic applications, as well as enable the emerging trends and technological advances toward hybrid inter-connect systems (the combination of fiber optic and electrical power).
Multi-channel fiber optic cylindrical connectors have long been the preferred inter-connect solution for military and defense systems. Ideal for electrical or RF applications, the integration of fiber optic connectivity into cylindrical components has proven challenging, resulting in expensive connector systems. The F-LINK Inter-Connect platform captures the proven performance of MIL-SPEC cylindrical-style components which are designed for extended operation in harsh or uncontrolled environments. Protective sealing features along with advanced materials enable F-LINK components to operate across a wide temperature and humidity range, and in high-vibration and/or corrosive environments. F-LINK's 1.25mm ceramic ferrule technology coupled with patent-pending, thermal plastic features provides a scalable, cost-effective inter-connect solution.
The flexibility of provisioning independent channels, gender-selectable plug and receptacles with superior environmental sealing positions the F-LINK Inter-Connect platform as the ideal solution for almost any application. The F-LINK Inter-Connect platform also features a comprehensive family of connector configurations, backshells and accessories.  The platform is available in three shell sizes.
