The Optik-D™ Series is intended for use in the Combo-D family of connector products. The Size 8 contact positions are populated with precision adapters that accept the optical terminus. Fiber optic interconnects offer many advantages such as high bandwidth, EMI immunity, reduced wiring bulk and weight, improved data security, safety in explosive environments, minimal losses over long distances, future proofing of applications and the elimination of group loops. These are especially advantageous in industries such as medical imaging, aerospace, oil & gas and telecom.
