Overview

Conformable®, or hand formable (BJ - Braided Jacket), has a tin filled braid with a metal foil underlay and is also available in the same diameters as the Semi-Rigid type BJ141 cable is the most popular size in the hand-formable cable group. This cable is used throughout the industry as a low cost assembly that delivers high performance. There is a slight penalty in loss and shielding when compared to .141 Semi-Rigid but BJ141 does not require detailed bending drawings Conformable® BJ085 BJ085 is recognized as a cost savings replacement for .086 Semi-Rigid. This cable eliminates the need for costly detailed drawings.

BJ085 cable can either be purchased to a part number or a customer part number if special requirements such as marking are required. BJ085W cable is also available, which includes a polyolefin jacket covering the outside of the cable. Conformable BJ141 BJ141 cable is the most popular size in the hand-formable cable group. This cable is used throughout the industry as a low cost assembly that delivers high performance. There is a slight penalty in loss and shielding when compared to .141 Semi-Rigid but BJ141 does not require detailed bending drawingsNote: Conformable® is a registered trademark of Belden

    New blind mate active optical interconnect product line compatible with VITA and SOSA standards.

    Expanding on the successful LightCONEX style A compatible with VITA 66.4 aperture, Reflex Photonics is launching its style B and style C, both compatible with VITA 67.3 type C, D and E standard apertures. These VITA 67.3 apertures can be populated with modules that are either single active, dual active/passive, or a combination of optical and RF coaxial connectors. This flexibility will be particularly attractive to integrators that need to combine multiple I/O interfaces while keeping size, weight, and power (SWaP) at the minimum.
