Amphenol Aerospace offered additional Copper to Fiber Media Converter products. These assemblies are designed for military and aerospace environments. AAO HSS has provided rugged high speed copper and fiber optic interconnect products for the military, aerospace, and industrial markets for decades.

Such products include: fiber and high speed copper contacts, connectors, and cable solutions. Amphenol CTF media converter products blend the decades of experience in fiber optic and high speed copper capability with a new set of products that removes the need to convert from copper to fiber inside a given sub-system. The media conversion is completed within each turn-key unit that AAO HSS provides.

This allows systems integrators to remove costly and fragile fiber transceivers and cables from circuit boards. Details of each product in the portfolio are as follows: CTF-QUAD (quadrax): Quadrax form factor embedded fiber optic transmitters and receivers; Utilizes standard quadrax receptacle connectors and inserts (1 Tx or 1 Rx per size 8 cavity); Industry standard 1.25 mm fiber optic ferrules; Plug/socket side utilizes quadrax socket to ARINC-801 pin adapter for system fiber connection; Speed Support from DC to 10 Gbps in both transmitter and receiver; PCB lead or flex connection to customer system; Industry standard operating temperature -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C; Link to web page CTF-4G; 2 Channel (2 Tx, 2 Rx) integrated hybrid connector and media converter; D38999 Series III Shell Size 13-4 M29504/5 Fiber Termini Interface; Up to 4.25Gbps on copper and fiber interface; Built-in Test and diagnostics capable; 37 pin nano connector; Up to 1G Ethernet, 4G Fibre Channel, PCI-Express 2.0, DVI and more; Options for ARINC-801, MT, PC Tail Copper and more; and Industry standard operating temperature -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C.
