KITCO Fiber Optics was tasked by NAVSEA Combat Systems in 1992 to produce an oven
that would allow the shipboard installer to accomplish a vertical cure for the MIL-C-83522/16
Light Duty ST Connector, the MIL-T-29504/14/15 Heavy Duty Termini and the COTS FDDI
Connector. A higher curing temperature of 248 degrees Fahrenheit assures a higher glass transition
temperature needed for high vibration and harsh shipboard environments. A special heater block
accepts termini when in one position and when flipped over the same heater block accepts ST, SC
and/or FDDI Connectors. A solid post, a ring and cable clips allow the installer to precisely position
the fiber into the block for a straight, vertical cure. Special side panels are affixed to the oven
housing to hold the 16 termini cure adapters that come with this assembly.
