Rugged High-Speed Connectors

TE's CeeLok FAS-T connector is one of the most rugged, small, 10 GB/s ethernet, field terminable I/O connectors is the Aerospace, Defense and Marine marketplace.  It has been designed to perform in some of the most extreme environment in the industry, while providing substantial size and weight savings via its small shell size 8 form factor.  Unique "T" pin pattern minimizes electrical impedence and crosstalk.

Mezalok connectors are rugged surface mount mezzanine connectors incorporating "quad-redundant" mini-box contact system for separable interface.  Available in 60, 114 and 320 positions with stack height options 10, 12, 15 and 18 mm.  The 114 positon is designed to support VITA 61 XMC  architecture as a rugged, high speed alternative to VITA 42 XMC 2.0.

The MULTIGIG RT 2 connector, the standard for VITA 46, supports data rates up to 10 Gb/s and represents a huge step forward in the world of rugged computing and C4ISR enabling technology. The modular connector system features a protected backplane connector and uses a pinless interface and wafer-based design in place of pin contacts.  The connector system also offers built in ESD features enabling field serviceability, is extremely light weight and is fully qualified for VITA 46 environments.

MULTGIG RT 2-R connectors designed to meet VITA 72 environmental performance, while levaraging all the technical and economic benefits of VITA 72 VPX.  Quad-redundant contact system  increases reliability in a high vibration environments by providing double the points of contact versus our standard MULTIGIG RT 2 connector.  

With high speeds and high reliability in demanding applications, the Fortis Zd connector family is designed to meet next-generation processing intensive applications.  The connectors support speeds of 10+ Gb/s in a design that saves space and weight.  

The Fortis Zd LRM connector system is a modular connector system for rugged next-generation packaging, from avionics boxes to military ground vehicles.  It features a rugged, lightweight, multibay shell that accepts high-speed digital signal, power RF and optical modules.  

TE offers the highly versatile Quadrax multi-signal contact system consisting of two differential pairs (matched impedence) used with quadraxial Ethernet and Fibre Channel cables.  Quadrax contacts are available in shell size 8 (keyed), 24 AWG pin and socket contacts, hex crimp, and pin PCB tail solderable versions. They are adaptable to a variety of connectors, including ARINC 600, 404, D-Subminiature and MIL-DTL-38999, and are designed for use in high-speed applications such as Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.3Z and Fibre Channel X3T11.
