Many systems already exist that use Quadrax at the board level. When high-speed data
was new to the aerospace marketplace, Quadrax gained spec position on many systems
at the board level and became the industry standard. The Octax
®
Adapter bridges the
technology between Quadrax and the Octax 10 Gbps Ethernet connector system utilizing
an over-molded strain relief.
The Octax connector:
» Uses innovative inserts to isolate each twisted pair and contact
» Cable pair twist is maintained extremely close to the contact termination to
minimize characteristic impedance mismatch
» Virtually eliminates near-end crosstalk by having inserts designed to serve as
isolated cells
» Can deliver 10x the data transmission speed (10 Gbps signal or higher) and 2x
the density compared to Quadrax-type solutions
Features: Benets:
CarlisleIT’s high-speed backbone allows longer runs,
with more disconnects and improved data rates.
• Building in system headroom
High-speed backbone
• Longer runs
• More disconnects
• Improved data rates
• Building in system headroom
• Only requires a board-level change to deliver 10g
• System flexibility for future upgrades
• Field-repairable (Simply change the card to interface to Octax-Solo and extend the
10g backbone to the box. No removal/replacement of the installed backbone required.)
Octax technology in the disconnects
• Field-terminable & reworkable interconnections
• Flexibility of disconnect locations
• Fully-customizable adapter design (Cable type & Quadrax type)
