The Glenair Family of Qualified MIL-PRF-29504 Fiber
Optic Termini and Composite MIL-DTL-38999 Type
Connectors Provide Precise Optical Performance
Better Ferrule Design Translates to Better Optical Performance
Glenair’s unique alignment techniques maximize optical performance and provide reliable,
repeatable interconnection of optical fibers. Ferrule design, critical to the performance of the
termini, has traditionally relied on a machined stainless steel ferrule incorporating a precision micro
drilled hole. Glenair’s unique precision ceramic ferrules, with concentricity and diametric tolerances
controlled within a micron (.00004 of an inch) meet the needs of high bandwidth and low allowable
insertion loss applications. In fact, Glenair’s ferrules are approximately 10 times more accurate than
alternative designs, and have reduced insertion loss values from 1.5dB to less than .5dB (typical loss
for Glenair termini is .3 dB).
Connector System Accomodates Both Fiber Optic and Electrical Contacts
Glenair's MIL-PRF-29504/4 and /5 Qualified Fiber Optic Termini are specifically designed
for use in the D38999 Series III connector, and provide optimal performance when compared
to other fiber optic termini. And because Glenair’s precision manufactured D38999 style
connectors exactly conform to the MIL-DTL-38999 specification, they can accept standard size
MIL-C-39029 size 16 electrical contacts as well.
NOTE: M39029/58-364 size 16 electrical pin contacts and M39029/56-352 size 16 electrical
socket contacts may also be used in hybrid configurations with the M29504 fiber optic contact.
So, for advanced, tactical optical, electrical or hybrid optical/electrical applications, Glenair’s MILDTL-38999 style connectors provide maximum flexibility and performance.

Glenair Fiber Optic Termini
Cleaning Procedure
Glenair has developed exactingly dimensioned cleaning swabs for
cleaning difficult-to-clean, recessed socket termini.
Each swab's foam tip is the perfect size to clean both the
alignment sleeve and the glass core area of the fiber.
Please follow these instructions when cleaning fiber optic termini:
Glenair Recommends the Following Procedure for
Cleaning Glenair Fiber Optic Termini:
1. Remove loose contamination with a dry swab.
2. Blow pressurized, filtered air (or instrument grade
canned air) onto terminus end face.
3. Inspect end face using 10X magnification minumum.
4. If contamination is still present, take the following measures:
A. Soak swab foam tip with 99%+ pure alcohol.
B. Wipe the wet swab across the terminus end face.
C. Wipe a dry swab across the terminus end face immediately to guard against potential air-dried alcohol film residue.
