Overview

C series is a circular metal connector series, with an IP67 sealing level and shielding capability for use in harsh environmental conditions such as high vibration levels, damp or shock. It provides long life expectancy and reduces the need of connector maintenance. The C series connectors offer a monobloc housing to avoid any wrong assembling and sealing problems. Five coding points ensure a safe mating and prevent contacts to be broken when plugging. Cable clamps with a large cabling chamber allows a variable cable diameter range of 6-13.5 mm. The C series proposes a shielded connection for your EMI and RFI constraints. Available with a large choice of shells, we also offer standard cable assemblies to provide a complete interconnect solution to simplify your supply chain.

    Understanding the Test Criteria of Optical Fiber Transceivers Used in Space

    In space, high performance components must be able to deliver reliably in the punishing environment. It is optical transceivers that drive transmissions, converting signals to and from a copper-resident format. Fiber optics communications provide high bandwidth and low latency signaling. Signal transmissions through fiber optic cables (FOCs) provide immunity to EM/RFI interference, crosstalk, and voltage level surges. Fiber optics’ accuracy and reliability exceeds traditional cabling. Covering 1,000 feet requires four pounds of FOC versus 39 pounds of copper wiring, and fiber optics also consume less energy than copper. To convert electrical signals from circuitries with copper output to fiber optics, optical fiber transceivers are usually required.
