Octonet Contacts
13-15
Size 8 pin and socket contacts. 8 strategically-spaced inner
contacts form 4 100 Ohm matched impedance differential pairs.
The CTF-QUAD product line is fiber to copper and copper to
fiber media conversion in quadrax form factor pins for standard
D38999 quadrax insert arrangements.
Size 8 pin and socket contacts. An outer contact with 4
strategically spaced inner contacts forming two 100 or 150 Ohm
matched impedance differential pairs.
Matched impedance quadrax and twinax transition adapters
provide a method of launching from the high speed connectors
to PCB boards.
Size 8 pin and socket contacts. An outer contact with 2 inner
contacts spaced to form one 100 or 150 Ohm matched
impedance differential pair.
Sizes 4, 8, 12 & 16 pin and socket contacts designed for RF/
microwave and shielded wire applications.
Size 8 Coaxial contacts that provide high frequencies
(DC to 65 GHz). Unique “Float Mount” technology maintains
tight mechanical tolerances.
Sizes 8 & 12 pin and socket contacts designed for protection
from magnetic and electro-static interference including nuclear
electromagnetic pulse.
Sizes 8, 10 & 12 pin and socket contacts designed for shielded
wire applications with 3 conductors.

FIND YOUR CABLE AND CORRESPONDING HIGH-SPEED CONTACT
Locate your cable using our Cable Guide in each high-speed contact section. Match the cable to the proper
specifications needed, such as contact size and impedance, then choose the correct contact part number.
CHOOSE THE DESIRED INSERT PATTERN
D38999 Series III Insert arrangements for Quadrax and Differential Twinax contacts are shown on pgs. 11-12.
D38999 Series I, II, and III insert arrangements for Coax, Twinax, and Triax contacts are shown on pgs. 42-44.
CONTACT AMPHENOL FOR THE CONNECTOR OR CABLE PART NUMBER
Once the contact and the insert arrangement have been selected, contact Amphenol Aerospace to get the proper
connector or cable assembly part number.
