The system comprises two connector body widths (13 and 9 mm) secured together with precision press fit links providing an array of connector ports with precise pitch separations of 9 and 11 mm. A multiway connector is formed with ‘n’ down-connection ports plus one high speed up-connection port. Standard configurations are anticipated to provide 2 ports, 4+1 ports and 6+1 ports but the flexibility of the system means that a wide variety are available pre-configured by Cambridge Connectors.
Being an important feature of the CXP Standard, each port can incorporate a light pipe to display identification or status data; straight and right angle versions are available. The secure latching mechanism, compatible with standard 1.0/2.3 connectors, provides high connection integrity with a simple push/pull operation.
