SYSTIMAX Solutions introduces new rugged, military-tested connectors for fiber networks

New products tested and approved through military standard MIL-C-83522
Johannesburg, 03 May 2004

SYSTIMAX Solutions, a worldwide leader in structured cabling systems, today announced that it is now offering new military-standards-approved singlemode and multimode non-locking connectors. These products passed rigorous military testing and are designed for highly reliable, extremely rugged use for customers that operate in a variety of harsh environments. These new products meet stringent vibration, shock, flex-life, mating-durability, salt spray, flammability, and fungus-resistance requirements.

The singlemode connector (SM QPL Military Non-locking Connector with Thermoplastic boot), the multimode connector (MM QPL Military Non-locking Connector with Thermoplastic boot) have been tested and approved per military standard MIL-C-83522.

"With these new military-tested and approved connectors, SYSTIMAX Solutions has introduced products that are priced competitively without sacrificing ruggedness," said Joe Storey, Product Manager, SYSTIMAX Solutions. "Customers who need connectors that are able to operate in harsh, unprotected environments, like those found onboard ships or aircraft, shouldn't have to give up quality for cost effectiveness, and, with these products, they won't have to."

"The military is a demanding customer, and every product the armed forces use must be durable, but, because taxpayer dollars are at stake, those products also must be affordable," said Mike Barnick, Senior Manager of Solutions Marketing, SYSTIMAX Solutions. "We believe the new connectors from SYSTIMAX Solutions meet both of these requirements, which makes them ideal for the military and any other customers who require such rugged, competitively-priced products." These new connectors are available now through a SYSTIMAX Authorized VAR.
