Dedicated to C4ISR, battlefield communication, aeronautics and railway applications, the µCom-10Gb+ connector combines miniaturization and high-speed capacity with resistance to the harshest environments.
"This new copper-based miniature connector meets current market needs in terms of size and high-speed capacity. It provides our customers with secure, reliable signal transmission, especially for tactical military communications", says Christophe Bernardi, Industry & Networks Business Division manager at Amphenol Socapex.
The new connector meets the requirements for applications in harsh environments with:
High-speed capacity of 10 Gb+ and a Category 6A classification that goes beyond the IEEE 802.3an-2006, TIA568C.2 and ISO/IEC11801 standards to meet 10GBase-T requirements
Small size thanks to its maximum exterior diameter of 15 mm
High levels of resistance to corrosion, impacts and vibrations and an IP68 protection level. The environmental tests are based on the MIL-DTL38999 series III military standard
