HDQX Connector Solution
Radiall expands its connector product offering with the new HDQX series for high-speed Ethernet and RF data transmission.
The HDQX connector combines a compact size with the ruggedness needed for high reliability and signal integrity in harsh aerospace and military environments. Offering twelve size 8 cavities in a high-density rectangular shell, the space-saving HDQX accepts ARINC 600 Quadrax and size 8 BMA contacts, as well as twinax and triaxial contacts.
The robust design of the HDQX connector enables high-speed, high-density applications. For example, six 1000Base-T gigabit links are possible with the HDQX by using two parallel Quadrax contacts for each gigabit link. In addition, the HDQX can utilize BMA contacts in RF connections at frequencies up to 18 GHz.
