Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) offers
a fiber optic MIL-STD-83522 style connector and
strain relief boot compliant to NASA EEE-INST-002
material guidelines for space applications. AFSI’s
Space ST connectors were tested to ASTM E 595 to
evaluate the boot’s outgassing properties and are
available for all of the popular fiber sizes.
Adapter Part Number
MSTA3000
The Space ST is a M83522 style variant, which
features a higher spring force than commercial
ST connectors, allowing it to meet the shock and
vibration requirements of MIL-C-83522. Stainless
steel construction provides excellent mechanical
strength and superior corrosion resistance.
A companion adapter is available to support
bulkhead applications
