TAC-12 cable assemblies by Gepco are built for the transmission of multiple optical fiber elements in hostile and portable applications. Each connector contains 12 elements in an extra-rugged, hermaphroditic connector shell. The hermaphroditic design enables cables to be mated to either TAC-12 panel connectors or other TAC-12 cables in any direction providing flexibility for cable link expansion and eliminating cables from being directionally misdeployed. Machine polished and terminated in the US, Gepco TAC-12 cables have exceptionally low return-loss and attenuation with consistent end-face geometry. TAC-12 cables are available in almost any length and are custom terminated to user specifications.
