Main: Octax®-Solo plug and flange-mount receptacle connectors. Inset: Octax®-Solo flange-mount straight PC tail receptacle.
The Amphenol CIT's Octax®-Solo 10 Gbps Ethernet Connector is a single-port, standalone connector designed for a wide variety of aerospace and military applications.
The Octax connector:
Uses innovative inserts that isolate each twisted pair and contact, virtually eliminating near-end crosstalk
Features cable and twists that are maintained extremely close to the contacts, minimizing characteristic impedance mismatch
Delivers 10x the transmission speed (10 Gbps signal) and 2x the density compared to Quadrax-type solutions
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Gigabit and 10 Gb Ethernet data transfer speed | Allows for higher data quantities to transfer at quicker speeds covering a variety of 1 Gb applications and emerging 10 Gb needs |
| Field repairable | Designed for easier and less costly on-site termination repair |
| Uses standard 22D crimp contacts (M39029) | Standard off-the-shelf contacts are readily available and requires no special tooling |
| Small form factor | Critical space savings for highly dense applications |
| Anti-decoupling/self-locking mechanism for rugged environments |
Connector will not disconnect/uncouple in a high-vibration application |
