One of the original styles of fiber optic connectors, the
Biconic fiber optic connector is still in use today mostly for
military applications. Our Biconic connector utilizes a screw type, spring loaded connection and features a
cone-shaped polymer ferrule that helps to align the
optical fibers at the connection interface.
The Biconic termini was adapted to the military TFOCA
connector system in the early 1980’s. These genderless
termini are currently being phased out of legacy systems
but continue to be used in TFOCA tactical fiber optic
assemblies used by the United States Army and Marine
Corps.
