<p>The « IP » define the resistance of the product against solids (first number) and liquids (second number). 387TV is rated IP68 when mated. To ensure an IP68 waterproofness on the Jam nut receptacle and mated plug, a heat shrink boot and adhesive must be installed between the plug and the cable. It will allow the connector to withstand 48 hours under 2 meters of water.</p>
<p>To tighten the panel nut effectively, simply torque it once. Then tighten it again 24 hours afterwards.</p>
<p>If necessary, install a lock wire on the nut and attach it to the panel to keep the nut tight.</p>
<p>We offer 387TV connectors with fiber optic optical termini in different versions: Double Luxbeam Q8D already available, MT and TVOP Size 7 coming soon.</p>
<p>Yes, we offer numerous contacts regarding your cable type.</p>
<ul>
<li>Coax : available for RG179 and PIC V75268 cable type.</li>
<li>Twinax : available for the M17/176-00002 (standardized cable), the Raychem 10612, the EPD44690 and the EPD44691 cable type.</li>
<li>Quadrax : NF24Q100 or equivalent.</li>
<li>Octomax : available for the Thermax MX10G-26FLX and the Gore RCN9047-026.</li>

387TV Series - size 7 connector description
The 387TV Series is a micro-miniature connector size 7 that offers high-speed data transmission in a small package. The 387TV Series connector is an excellent choice for applications that require high-speed data transmission in a compact and lightweight design.
The shell is derived from the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors and features an insert arrangement of 07-05 with a monocavity size 8, which is compatible with size 8 high-speed contacts and fiber optics. This connector is available in aluminum, marine bronze, and stainless steel, and it is compatible with both crimp and PC-Tail contacts.
The 387TV Series connector is ideal for use in battlefield networks, soldier wearable equipment, avionics, Ethernet switches, media converters, manpacks, digital radios, data acquisition equipment, navy applications, and missiles. The available shells include jam-nut receptacles (standard, reduced flange, and stand-off reduced flange), oval flange receptacles equipped with clinch-nuts, and straight plugs.
This connector also offers a range of copper contacts, including quadrax, coax (50 ohms and 75 ohms), and octomax 1Gb (10 Gb coming soon), as well as fiber optic options (available Q2 2020) with MT ferrules and 2 size 16 luxbeams. The 387TV Series connector is an excellent choice for applications that require high-speed data transmission in a compact and lightweight design.
