Fiber Optic Connectors
Multi-Channel

The uniquely-controlled CTE characteristics, chemical bonding properties, and polycrystalline structure of our proprietary Kryoflex® ceramic sealing system, enables PA&E to manufacture fiber optic connectors from a variety of compatible materials. This process produces a connector exhibiting exceptional optical and environmental performance characteristics.

PA&E's hermetically-sealed fiber optic connectors are designed for use in military, telecommunication, medical and other commercial applications where environmental conditions require an extremely reliable hermetic seal.
