Overview

Title:  Connectors, Fibers Optic, Circular, Plug and Receptacle Style, Multiple Removable Termini, Screw Threads, Backshell, Split, Single Fiber Cables, Banding Adapter/Cable Strain Relief Interface, Environment Resisting Scope:  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. Environmental resistant features include ability to restrict movement, position, and twist of each cable in addition to eliminate or reduce penetration of various environments. This backshell is one of a split (clam shell) shell configuration consisting of a front adapter, rear adapter, and two (split) shell halves. Split shell halves offer a means of easy access for inspection, troubleshooting and repair.
