its R-VPX connectors, which are intermateable and
intermountable with VITA 46 connectors supplied by
TE Connectivity. Amphenol and TE have signed a
cross-licensing agreement, providing the industry with
at least two qualified suppliers for these high-speed,
board-to-board connectors.
mphenol’s R-VPX Ruggedized VITA 46 connectors
offer data exchange rates in excess to 10Gbps, which
meet and exceed the VITA 46 standards while offering
modularity, flexibility and customized wafer-loading
patterns. The R-VPX connectors support Ethernet,
Fiber Channel, InfiniBand, and other high-speed
protocols. The connectors can be combined side-by-
side on boards with high power modules, RF modules
and optical modules, also available through Amphenol
Aerospace.
“We’re very excited to be able to offer this high-speed
product as it allows us to continue our long history of
being at the forefront of board level and high speed
interconnect technology for the military and aerospace
industries,” said Jeremy Williams, Amphenol
Aerospace’s Product Line Manager for Board Level
Products.
Belden Extends Reach and Reliability of
Genius Bus and Modbus Plus Networks
New Rugged, Robust Fiber Optic Repeaters Protect
Network Integrity in Harsh, Automated or Decentralized
Industrial Environments.
a global leader in signal transmission solutions for
mission-critical applications, has released two new
fiber optic repeaters – the OZD Genius G12 and OZD
Modbus Plus G12. These robust devices help industrial
applications leverage fiber optic cables to achieve the
reliable, high-performing connectivity required by the
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
“As systems become more automated and decentralized,
fiber optic cables can offer significant advantages over
traditional copper cabling. Whether it’s lower installation
costs or reliable data transmission over long distances,
these benefits are compelling reasons to migrate quickly
to fiber,” said Rolf-Dieter Sommer, product manager at
Belden. “Our new fiber optic repeaters are ruggedized and
robust, giving customers an immediate path to get more
value from their investment in fiber optic technology.”
The OZD Genius G12 and OZD Modbus Plus G12
repeaters are designed for mission-critical and harsh
industrial environments, such as manufacturing,
transportation and traffic control systems, water and
wastewater treatment plants and power generation
facilities.
For Modbus Plus and Genius Bus networks, these
devices can:
Offer increased value by expanding the range of data
transmission (up to 22,000m)
Be used with all kinds of fiber optic cables (vendor
agnostic)
Support data transmission rates of up to 1 Mbit/s with
seamless redundancy against fiber breaks
Lower the risk of damage and downtime in
harsh conditions, including corrosive gases and
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
“As the IIoT expands, the ability to extend the reach of
the network becomes increasingly important and these
devices give engineers and integrators an efficient and
elegant way to achieve that objective,” adds Sommer.
