Available in 38999 Series I and Series III configurations, Glenair test adapters provide precise angular
and axial alignment of termini. Transmission losses are minimized by providing axial bias of the
probe terminus against the terminus of the cable under test. Beryllium copper retention clips and
precision-molded inserts withstand abuse and guarantee long service life. The socket adapter fea-
tures a ceramic alignment sleeve.
