Quadrax Contact
Presentation
Today’s technology for Aeronautic 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 electrical 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 protocols (Ethernet, ATM...).
Quadrax is the best electrical solution for: High speed electrical network applications, excellent network performances, crosstalk, return loss,
high density of links, harsh environment use...
Typical network applications are 100Mbit/s Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 1
394, Fibre Channel, ...

Superior signal integrity performance
thanks to an innovative insert
►
Insert design enabling radial insertion of inner crimped contacts.
►
Radial insertion of contacts in insert enabling minimum untwisting of the cable for wiring operation.
►
Minimum untwisting of the cable = improved cross talk performance.
