ODU has a long pedigree in soldier communications, with their Advanced Military Connector (AMC) range being specifically developed for this market.  

This range has now been significantly extended to offer connectors for all varieties of military equipment.

ODU-AMC T-Series Connector - beyond 38999
Three locking variants of plug [push-pull, break-away or screw-lock] can fit the same receptacle, giving space-envelope savings over comparable density MIL-38999M, so now, in-vehicle OEM’s can fit the same bulkhead fitting across all equipment, leaving the locking preference to the plug-in equipment.

ODU AMC NP - Quick disconnect, robust break-away, high performance:
Minimum 2000 mating cycles, improved power contacts with USB 2.0 capability,
IP68 20m / 120mins. It is ideal for apps such as PDU‘s, CWB’s and C4ISR peripherals and is compatible with NATO STANAG 4695, Nett Warrior and GOSSRA.
