<p><span lang="EN-US">Connectors and cabling are critical points in an electronic system because they can leak electromagnetic emissions if not properly designed. Shielded connector solutions with ground continuity, EMI/RFI filtering, and secure locking systems are essential to ensure EMC tightness and meet cybersecurity and TEMPEST standards.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">The <strong>TEMPEST</strong> standard is a set of recommendations and specifications designed to limit compromising electromagnetic emissions from electronic equipment. The aim is to prevent electromagnetic emissions (known as noise) from being intercepted remotely and used to obtain sensitive information. It is widely used in the military, government, and security sectors.</span></p>
<p>The CTOS fiber optic connector has a maximum insertion loss of 2.0 dB for multimode fiber and 2.5 dB for singlemode fiber, ensuring high-performance optical signal transmission.<br>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The CTOS fiber optic connector has a maximum insertion loss of 2.0 dB for multimode fiber and 2.5 dB for singlemode fiber, ensuring high-performance optical signal transmission.</p>
<p>The CTOS connector is ideal for:</p> <ul> <li>Battlefield communication.</li> <li>Ground vehicles.</li> <li>Navy pierside communication.</li> <li>Harsh Industrial environments, railway, Oil &amp; Gas&nbsp;</li> </ul>
<p>Yes, the CTOS connector has a hermaphroditic design, allowing identical connectors to mate with each other. This simplifies deployment and enables easy daisy-chaining of cable assemblies without the need for adapters.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The CTOS connector is manufactured according to NATO/STANAG 4290 standards, ensuring its suitability for military applications.</p>
<p>The CTOS connector can support up to 4 channels, accommodating both singlemode and multimode fibers. For more channels the <a href="/products/fiber-optic-solutions/fiber-optic-connectors/ctol" target="_blank">CTOL fiber optic connector</a> can accept up to 8 channels.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The connector features protective windows that can be easily cleaned with simple tissue, facilitating maintenance in the field.&nbsp;</p>
