The Gold Rush TFOCA-III(R) connector series utilizes 1.25mm termini to increase channel density while retaining reliable Gold Rush TFOCA-II(R) housings. Gold Rush TFOCA-III(R) incorporates 6 channels into the existing 4-channel shell size, and 24 channels into the current 12 channel TFOCA-II(R) housings. Leveraging the original connector form factor allows users to upgrade their systems easily while maintaining the AFSI performance and reliability, and quality. Features and Benefits * About GoldRush TFOCA-II(R) Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) has designed the next generation "longwall communications" deployable fiber optic connector. By responding to specific customer needs and leveraging the family of AFSI TFOCA-II(R) connectors, the Gold Rush series of fiber-optic connectors was born. These innovative interconnect solutions have become an enabling technology for "digital mining." AFSI's Gold Rush connectors address specific mining requirements for the future of intelligent mining. * * * * * This revolutionary design enables TFOCA-II(R) connectors to seal against high humidity and moisture conditions while allowing full axial and orbital movement of the mated ferrule, providing the lowest possible insertion loss and back reflection of any military style connector. * The heart of the TFOCA-II(R) family of deployable fiber optic connectors is the TFOCA-II(R) termini, featuring "sealed" free floating termini. * The patented Gold Rush TFOCA-II(R) connector series has been designed by AFSI for environmentally harsh conditions of mining. Available in both brass and stainless steel, the Gold Rush TFOCA-II(R) and the Gold Rush TFOCA-III(R) connectors are in the final approval and certification stages at the Mine Safety Health Administration. * Hermaphroditic Design for Versatility - Enables the TFOCA-II(R) plug to be daisy chained or unreeled from either end of a reel. Field Repairable Using Existing Parts - Additional connector components (other than termini) are not required to perform field repair. 4-Channel Connector Design - Two fold improvement over TFOCA with better optical performance. Optional Key Positions - Four key positions (1,2,3,universal) available, enabling segregation of mated plug/receptacles or plug/plug, through mechanical interface. Improved Cable Retention Strength - Designed to meet 400lb. pull strength while protecting fibers from stress. Solid Core Alignment Sleeves - More robust than split alignment sleeves Removable End Cap - Allows for easy field repair and cleaning. Commercial Ceramic Ferrule Technology - Enables TFOCA-II(R) connector to provision multimode and single mode interconnect with a variety of polishes including SPC and UPC. Available in Stainless Steel and Brass - Allows the connector to be used in a variety of applications.
