Today’s technology for Airbone and Military equipment is more and more complex, requiring the management of an increasing flow of
information at greater speeds. In response to this need, SOURIAU offers a wide range of copper and fiber optic solutions for high speed networks
in harsh environments. These solutions can handle data speeds from several Mbit/s up to several Gbit/s using a wide array of communication
Quadrax is the best solution for user requiring copper technology.
Description
Front and rear removable versions available.
Crimp and PC tail versions available.
Standard #8 cavity insertion and removal tools.
Ground connection of the cable braid to the shell possible
through the external shell of the # 8 contact.
Compatible with star quad cable.
Characteristic impedance of 100 Ohms.
Operating temperature : - 65°C/+ 200°C.
Inner contact: copper alloy.
Body: copper alloy.
Insulator: thermoplastic.
Contact plating: gold over nickel plated.
Field of applications
High speed copper network applications with optimum performances requiring full 360° shielding. Excellent network performances
(crosstalk, return loss), high density of links, and/or harsh environment use. Typical network applications: 100Mbit/s Ethernet, Gigabit
Ethernet, IEEE 1394, Fibre Channel.
Electrical Performance of the Quadrax Contact
Contact resistance (low level): initial 15 mOhms, after tests
30 mOhms.
Dielectric withstanding voltage.
Sea level = 500 Vrms between signal contacts and signal
contact/body.
21000m = 125 Vrms between signal contacts and signal
contact/body.
Insulation resistance: at ambient temperature >5000 MOhms
at high temperature >1000 MOhms.
Characteristic Impedance = 100 Ohms@100 MHz.
Attenuation < 0,3 dB@100 MHz typical per contact pair
(cat5E requirement 0,3 dB@100 MHz).
Crosstalk > 40 dB@100MHz typical (cat5E requirement 40 dB).
Contact to shell continuity < 10 mOhms (ARINC600).
