About TFOCA
In 1999, Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) designed
the TFOCA connector series as a direct replacement for the
connector portion of the US Army’s legacy TFOCA (Tactical
Fiber Optic Cable Assembly) equipment. This connector series
has become known simply as “TFOCA.” The AFSI TFOCA
series has been formally approved by CECOM (US Army
Communications Electronics Command Fort Monmouth, NJ)
and meets the performance criteria as specified in MIL-C-83526.
In addition, AFSI is fully qualified and formally approved by
CECOM to fabricate cable assemblies using the AFSI TFOCA
connector. These assemblies have been tested in accordance
with MIL-C-49292.
The TFOCA connector is a hermaphroditic design utilized for
tactical deployable communications systems. This genderless
characteristic allows for concatenations of cable assemblies
without regard for connector interface compatibility.
The ruggedized connector and housing will withstand the
repeated handling and mating cycles typically required for rapid
fiber optic cable deployment and retrieval in a tactical
environment.
Maintainability
All Amphenol Fiber Systems International TFOCA connectors
have a removable end cap to allow field level repair and cleaning.
Removing the cap allows direct access to the alignment sleeve
and termini for thorough cleaning and periodic maintenance.

Benefits
The TFOCA’s unique design and environmentally protected
construction provide protection from high compressive and
tensile loads. In addition, seals at every interface ensure
outstanding resistance to moisture penetration. The cable
termination is designed to firmly anchor the cable Kevlar
strength members to the connector housing without special
tooling. The AFSI TFOCA connectors can be terminated and
repaired in the field using existing US Army equipment or the
AFSI TFOCA Termination Kit (P/N KTBK7000).
Applications
Military tactical deployable communication systems
Legacy US Army Systems
Legacy US Marine Corps Systems
