The OPTOKON HMA-LC Adapters are designed to convert legacy LC connector design to the increasingly popular Expanded Beam technology. The adapters are compatible with existing LC connectors.
The compact size eliminates the need for hybrid jumper cables while supporting up to four channels of multimode and single mode fiber. HMA hermaphroditic cable end allows quick and easy configuration of cables in the field. The adaptors mate with the OPTOKON HMA Expanded Beam series.
HMA-J to LC adapter
The OPTOKON HMA connector series is designed for connection of the nodes of tactical network by the help of cables with optical fibers. The used Expanded Beam technology preservers all advantages of signals transmission through the optical lines in field harsh environmental conditions. Additionally to military optical networks the HMA is suited for a vast array of applications, like heavy industry connections, petrochemical application, broadcasting temporary optical lines. The HMA-J connector functionality is based on MIL-STD-83526 standard.
