Datalink, the connector insulator and outer body of the contact can be omitted completely, and the shell of the connector can be used to transmit the signal ground. SuperFly Datalink connectors are offered as push-pull (QDC) or with threaded coupling, in cable termination and PC tails. Series 806 is our next-generation small form-factor aerospace- grade circular connector. 12 insert arrangements have been tooled for keyed size 8 El Ochito contacts, including hybrid arrangements. They are compatible with modern high-speed protocols like USB 3.0, HDMI, and DisplayPort. SuperNine is our “better than QPL” 38999 style circular connector series. There are 20 different arrangements with keyed size # 8 contact cavities available for SuperNine, making it the most versatile of any connector series for El Ochito. We recommend choosing SuperNine for applications that require a large number of high- speed protocol lines in a single connector, or where a D38999 series connector is needed to meet a specific requirement such as an existing panel cut-out. For customers who want El Ochito in a rectangular connector, we offer the Series 792. Developed specifically for size 8 contacts, the 792 series offers scoop-proof mating, polarization options, hybrid contact arrangements, and a float- mount flange for blind mating. The Series 792 is a highly-engineered solution with many unique features not found in any other rectangular connector. Tightly spaced on a panel or box, the series 792 is also the highest-density solution. Shifting gears, Octobyte offers yet another Ethernet solution, this one optimized for harsh-environment

transit and industrial applications. Octobyte comprises both a contact technology and connector technology in one. It’s offered as a Quadrax or Octaxial style contact module and packaged in a rugged circular connector with reverse- bayonet coupling. SuperSeal houses commercial RJ45 and USB connectors in ruggedized shells for a high-speed harsh- environment field connector solution with superior sealing and durability, shell-to-shell grounding, and a variety of wire termination options including solder cup and crimp. VersaLink is a revolutionary high-

speed shielded twinax contact system capable of the highest- speed digital data transmission. VersaLink evolved from traditional mil-spec twinax contacts, but we’ve changed the outer shield to a rectangular shape to greatly improve signal integrity, contact density, and mechanical alignment. Each crimp-removable VersaLink contact has its own shield, resulting in virtually zero crosstalk. VersaLink was developed from the ground up using ANSYS simulation software, allowing us to simulate and optimize signal integrity performance before ever producing a prototype.
