The new connector provides high durability of up to 1,000 mating cycles in addition to the multiple point contact engagement that delivers vastly superior EMI shielding.
To ensure that the correct high-speed connectors are mated to address specific wiring requirements and keying functions, a keyed jack post option has been incorporated into the design. The six-positioned post allows for 36 possible keying combinations assuring that the correct Fibre Channel D-Sub plug is mated to the correct high-speed receptacle. Non-keyed jack post versions are available as well.
The Fibre Channel D-Sub connector features standard non-keyed insert arrangements with 2, 4, 6, 8 way and hybrid options available. It supports data rates up to 6.25 Gbps and has common back shells with a broad range of accessories, guide hardware and sealing grommets, as well as integrated EMI spring fingers that offer unmatched EMI performance with low contact resistance. The connector offers ease of assembly and a robust and comprehensive training package.
