Octax® Adapter

Product Details


Many systems already exist that use Quadrax at the board level. When high-speed data was new to the Aerospace marketplace, Quadrax gained spec position on many systems at the board level and became the industry standard. The Octax® Adapter bridges the technology between Quadrax and the Octax® 10Gb/s Ethernet connector system, utilizing an over-molded strain relief.

Our in-house integrated engineering teams are ready to take on your greatest challenges.

Key Features

Performance

  • Uses innovative inserts to isolate each twisted pair and contact
  • Minimizes characteristic impedance mismatch by maintaining an extremely close proximity between the cable, switch, and contacts
  • Virtually eliminates near-end crosstalk by having inserts designed to serve isolated cells
  • Can operate at data transmission speeds of 10 Gigabits/sec (Gbps) or higher
  • Delivers 10x the transmission speed (10Gbps signal), and 2x the density compared to Quadrax-type solutions
  • Features Octax standard M39029 crimp contacts, which reduce manufacturing time and provide an easy field-repairable solution
  • Amphenol CIT’s high-speed backbone allows longer runs, with more disconnects and improved data rates.
  • Amphenol CIT’s high-speed backbone would only require a board-level change to deliver 10 gig and is field-repairable. (Simply change the card to interface to Octax® Solo, and extend the 10 gig backbone to the box) No removal/replacement of the installed backbone required.
  • Utilize Octax® technology in the disconnects to allow for: field terminable and reworkable interconnections, flexibility of disconnect locations, and adapter design is fully customizable: cable type and Quadrax type.
