The Enterprise Systems CONnection (ESCON) architecture was developed for high speed communication between
mainframes and storage devices, peripheral control units, cluster controllers and other networks. Molex’s ESCON series of
connectors are fully compatible with the requirements of this architecture.
The connector is designed using the latest engineered polymer and ceramic materials featuring pre-radiused and
pre-polished zirconia ceramic PC ferrules and a rugged polymer housing with a retractable shroud. Molex’s unique
termination process and the factory polished and radiused ferrules combine to produce quick and consistent ESCON termina-
tions.
Adapters are available in either flange or snap-in mounting styles. Precision zirconia ceramic or polymer alignment sleeves
can be provided with either mounting style.
*ESCON is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
