FOBEX 38999 is an MIL-DTL-38999 An optical connector which is applied to beam expanding
optical signal transmission technology into a connector designed according to military
standards. It can be used in a variety of adverse conditions such as extreme temperature,
vibration, shock, humidity, and dust. It has little impact from outdoor contamination and is easy
to maintain, making it easy to use tactically.
