OCC® Pierside connectors provide extreme
flexibility in deployable connector options
Optical Cable Corporation’s (OCC®) Pierside family of fibre
optic connectors provides extreme flexibility in deployable system architectures
and eliminates the gender orientation and logistics of deployment,
re-deployment or field system reconfiguration. This durable, high-quality 6–12
channel fibre optic hermaphroditic connector system is designed to meet
stringent performance and design characteristics established by the United
States Navy in accordance with NAVSEA 7379171 and 7379172 drawings.
The OCC Pierside style of multi-channel fibre optic
connector is designed to enable “genderless” mating capabilities, without
regard for male or female gender configuration of the interfacing connector to
which it is mated. The coupling nut of hermaphroditic plug connectors can be
selectively adjusted to convert the plug connector to a male or female coupling
thread, allowing a hermaphroditic plug to couple to another plug configured in
the opposite gender. This genderless characteristic allows cable assemblies
with hermaphroditic plugs on both ends to be deployed without concern for
orientation (male or female) when used in a “daisy-chained” configuration.
“The Pierside family of connectors was derived from the need
for naval vessels to communicate with logistics networks whose interfaces are
located at docks or piers,” says Barney Dean, Business Development Specialist.
“ “When combined with the OCC NAVSEA approved pierside fiber optic cable and
MARS reeling system components, the pierside product line provides the most
robust, versatile fiber optic cable assembly systems available.”
A complete complement of connector options are available,
including replacement dust caps, strain relief receptacles and 90° plugs and
are available in single-mode, multimode or a combination of both.
