The OPTOKON HMA optical modules are designed for connection of the nodes of tactical network by the help

of cables with optical fibers. The used „Expanded beam technology“ preserves all advantages of signals

transmission through the optical lines in field harsh environmental conditions.

Benefiting from expanded beam technology, with a long and proven industry track record, the precision

optical alignment system creates immunity from water, mud, dust, oil and other contaminants.

The HMA Hermaphroditic coupling eliminates the need for adaptors and male and female mating halves.

Hermaphroditic housings allow for rapid deployment, creating low loss Single mode, Multimode and Hybrid daisy

chained links in a variety of planforms ranging from simplex fiber to a copper Hybrid. The OPTOKON HMA is ideally

suited for environmental extremities where low maintenance and quick repairabilty is necessary, the connectors are

uniquely field installable and rapidly field repairable.

     There are two different types of OPTOKON HMA connection modules:

            a) LD type military tactical cable with OPTOKON HMA plugs at both sides

           b) Hybrid connection module OPTOKON HMA to standard fiber optic connectors (SC, ST, LC, …)
