MIL-DTL-38999 Quadrax/Twinax Connectors

MIL-DTL-38999 Quadrax/Twinax

Differential Twinax and Quadrax Connector

MIL-DTL-38999 Quadrax/Twinax connectors feature data rates exceeding 2 Gbps and a bandwidth: up to 3 Ghz. The connectors can be driven via matched impedance differential pair interconnections for board to board high speed data transfer. They are ideal for reliable, high-speed transfer of digital audio / video signals.

Optical Interconnect Design Challenges in Space

Aeronautical applications face many design challenges that are unique to their intended environment. The best practices for optical interconnect design for space applications include the use of radiation-resistant technology to defend against space radiation, the use of components and devices that are designed to operate in harsh environments, and meeting size, weight, and power (SWaP) and long-term reliability requirements. Finally, it is recommended to follow open standards like VPX and to look for solutions that comply with MIL and quality standards.
