Gepco International, Inc. -- Audio and Video Cable Products --

Multi-channel Tactical: TAC-4

TAC-4 cable assemblies by Gepco are built for the transmission of multiple optical fiber elements in hostile and portable applications. Each connector contains four elements in an extra-rugged, hermaphroditic connector shell. The hermaphroditic design enables cables to be mated to either TAC-4 panel connectors or other TAC-4 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-4 cables have exceptionally low return-loss and attenuation with consistent end-face geometry. TAC-4 cables are available in almost any length and are custom terminated to user specifications.
