HQM
Hermaphroditic Quad
Multiway
The Hermaphroditic Quad connector has been designed specifically to facilitate the interconnection of
fibre optic cable assemblies, thus eliminating the need for polarising the assemblies and the use of in-
line adapters. The HQM series utilises ceramic sprung loaded ferrule technology, giving low repeatable
optical attenuation.
The shell material is Aluminium Zinc Cobalt Olive Drab for Mil Comms applications, and Stainless Steel
for oil field and mining applications.
