FiberQuad Ruggedized Quadrax Contacts
The innovative FiberQuad contact is a ruggedized, high-performance Quadrax solution that integrates a fiber optic transmitter or receiver directly within the contact, along with the necessary support electronics. This plug-and-play design simplifies system integration and enhances reliability for demanding applications.
The FiberQuad contact is highly versatile, functioning as either a transmitter or receiver, and supporting multiple wavelengths, modes, and protocols—including encoded and pathological signal types. Compatible with standard Quadrax contact cavities, it can be seamlessly installed in D38999 plugs and receptacles designed for Amphenol Quadrax connectors.
Features & Benefits
- Each Quadrax contact can contain a fiber optic transmitter or receiver
- Support for speeds up to 28.05 Gbps
- Support for 1300nm multi-mode (for legacy protocols such as 100-Base-FX), 1310nm singlemode, and 850nm multi-mode wavelengths
- Support for encoded data as well as pathological data
- Each contact can be installed in any Amphenol Quadrax 38999 Connector
- Onboard diagnostics and control
- Operating temperature: -40°C to +85°C
- Storage temperature: -55°C to +100°C for 10G parts
- TX_DIS and RX_LOS pins
- Support for low outgassing requirements
