Trek Connect boosts MIL- fiber optic cable assembly, wire harness capabilities


Jul 20, 2010

Moorestown, NJ -- Trek Connect announced that, to keep pace with the U.S. military’s growing demand for high performance, critical path fiber optic military cable assemblies, the company has significantly invested in automated production, cleaning, and inspection equipment.

The company says its automated fiber termination processes are verified using an interferometer, which generates a 3D image detailing the measured radius of curvature, offset, and fiber height, each a critical end-face geometry factor in achieving optimum light transmission on critical fiber optic paths.

Trek Connect designs and manufactures custom military cable assemblies, military wire harness assemblies, ruggedized fiber optic interconnection junction box solutions, NTDS data switching, systems and custom-designed connector and interconnect solutions, for use in harsh environments for aerospace, naval surface and submarine, and military ground vehicle applications. The products are also used in audio/broadcast, commercial, industrial, medical and telecommunications industries. Typical applications include power distribution, RF signal, fiber optic light transmission, data transmission, communication and grounding circuits.

Trek Connect says its technicians are trained and certified to perform military fiber optic terminations in accordance with rigorous military standards, including MIL-STD-2042B. Using high quality interconnect components including MIL-PRF-28876, MIL-PRF-29504, MIL-DTL-38999, MIL-C-83522, and MIL-PRF-85045 fiber cable, in a military cable assembly application combined with Trek Connect’s trained, certified and experienced staff insures customers a high degree of confidence in its fiber optic military cable assemblies, contends the company.

The Trek Connect military cable assemblies have been battlefield-proven in some of the most demanding sea, air, and land-based environments, including Seawolf and Virginia Class Submarines, DDG Destroyers, the new Zumwalt Class DDG-1000 Destroyer, CV Aircraft Carriers and CG Cruisers, USCG National Security Cutters, U.S. Army EQ-36 Counterfire Target Acquisition Radar and DVE-FOS Driver Vision Enhanced program.
