The OCC EZ-MATE family of hermaphroditic-style fiber optic connectors provides the most comprehensive solution for harsh, deployable mobilized communications systems. The EZ-MATE Interconnection offers the same proven technology used in advanced military communication systems coupled with a simplified interface capable of “blind mating.” With a variety of options, the EZ-MATE provides ruggedized connectivity in the most challenging environments.

Hermaphroditic connectors are designed for quick deployment and gender-independent connectivity, allowing the end user to unreel fiber cable without regard for male or female ends. The hermaphroditic design enables the transmission path to maintain polarity even with multiple cable segments daisy-chained together to extend the distance of the deployable system.

• Easy, quick connections. The field-convertible hermaphroditic plug design allows for it to be converted to an in-line receptacle or
back to plug within seconds. This enables plug-to-plug assemblies to be connected end-to-end without regard for male or female
ends. The integrated “push-pull” system allows operators to terminate EZ-MATE plug and receptacles with ease.
• Simple to use. Hard to break. In addition to the EZ-MATE’s user-friendly interface, the connector will resist extremely harsh mechanical and environmental conditions, including high vibration, fluid immersion, mechanical stress and thermal shock, and continues to operate under extreme tension loading when used with OCC tactical cable. Its ability to “blind-mate” is ideal for applications that require thousands of mating cycles. The enhanced Kevlar® retention system supports high cable tensile loading without loss of optical signal.
• A variety of options to fit any application. Available for 2- to 24-channels, EZ-MATE allows maximum flexibility to accommodate specific applications. Each of the two shell sizes features a diverse set of receptacle configures to solve almost any application.

• Design allows for disassembly into four components for easy shipping and storage
• Pin latches are tethered to base and lock into place
• Integrated brake adjusts the drag applied to the reel, which prevents over-spin
• Axles are easily interchanged and available in 100, 300 and 500M sizes
• The axle latch can easily be positioned to retain or remove the reel
• Curved handle bar allows for easy management and deployment

This simple to operate stand requires no tools for assembly, can operate from either direction without tipping, and is available with solid or split axles for independent rotation.
• Smart, rugged construction. All the pieces of the ALRS attach to the unit, making assembly a snap. Designed for rugged environments in all temperature ranges, the ALRS is ozone, fungus, and corrosion resistant.
• Constructed of lightweight aluminum and stainless steel hardware, the stand is ozone, fungus and corrosion resistant
• Conforms to Army Performance Specification A3354296
• Designed for rugged environments from rain forests to rugged mountains, from hot and humid to freezing cold, from deserts to coastal conditions
• Available with either 1" square or 1" round axle. Compatible with most common military cable reels (DR-5, DR-7, DR-8, RFO-100 through RFO-1000, and CECOM A336463 compliant reels such as the OCC MARS reels, AFO-100 through AFO-1000)
• Available with solid axles or split axles that allow independent rotation
• Bi-directional operation without tipping over
• No tools required for assembly or disassembly

OCC’s Modular Advanced Reel System (MARS®): Unlike traditional metal-style reels, MARS is a lightweight, modular system constructed of an impact modified polymer that is easily transported. It is ideal for applications where cable needs to be deployed and reeled in quickly and stored efficiently. MARS also offers a variety of deployment options, including optional frames, backpacks, shipping cases, and cable acquisition platforms. This enables customers to meet the demands of diverse applications and uses with one modular reel and accessories platform.

The OCC MARS reel can be used with simple deployable axles, or with integrated A-frames, cable acquisition cradles, transit case systems, tripods, bumper mounts, various backpacks, backpacks with fiber optic slip rings, or cartridge systems. The MARS reel, itself, incorporates options for fiber optic cleaning kits, flip-out handle, 30-ft. built-in divider, connector cradle design, and stackable features. All of these attributes (with a lower weight than common reel systems) make MARS the most advanced fiber optic reeling system available in today’s market.

For fiber counts greater than 6 channels, OCC also manufactures its TFOCA/16-F plugs and TFOCA/17-F receptacles which are inter-matable and inter-changeable with the AFSI 12CH M83526 style connector family. This larger shell size “F” version of the TFOCA/16 and TFOCA/17 features a removable insert cap with retained split ceramic sleeves and is suitable for either multimode or single-mode applications. Plug-to-plug (TFOCA/16-F) assemblies are available in 4, 6, 8 or 12 channels, fabricated with 4, 6, 8 or 12 fiber military tactical cable. Receptacle assemblies are available in Jam Nut (TFOCA/17-F) or Flange Mount (TFOCA/18-F) configurations, and feature a selection of MIL ST, COTS ST, SC, FC, LC or MT-RJ pigtails. These style fiber optic assemblies can only be sold to the United States Government or to contractors servicing the United States Government.
