MIL-PRF-64266/16, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION SHEET: CONNECTORS, FIBER OPTIC, CIRCULAR, PLUG AND RECEPTACLE STYLE, MULTIPLE REMOVABLE GENDERLESS TERMINI, SCREW THREADS, BACKSHELL, SOLID, SINGLE FIBER CABLES, BANDED ADAPTER/CABLE STRAIN RELIEF INTERFACE

MIL-PRF-64266/16, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION SHEET: CONNECTORS, FIBER OPTIC, CIRCULAR, PLUG AND RECEPTACLE STYLE, MULTIPLE REMOVABLE GENDERLESS TERMINI, SCREW THREADS, BACKSHELL, SOLID, SINGLE FIBER CABLES, BANDED ADAPTER/CABLE STRAIN RELIEF INTERFACE, NON-ENVIRONMENT RESISTING (09-SEP-2010)., This specification is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense. The requirements for acquiring fiber optic connectors described herein shall consist of this specification sheet and MIL-PRF-64266. The performance requirements specified herein cover a backshell intended for use with a MIL-PRF-64266 or MIL-DTL-38999 connector plug or receptacle in a fiber optic only application. This backshell is intended for the cable harness configuration in which a bundle of single fiber cables (simplex optical cables) are routed through material, such as cable wrap, to the connector plug or receptacle. This backshell is used for interface with the connector plug or receptacle on one end and contains an interface (platform) to secure the cable wrap with a banding strap on the other end. As an alternative, this platform may be used to secure a cable strain relief (such as heat shrink) to the cable entrance end of the backshell.
