Save space with shrinking USB connectors
The new series of mini-BTM USB connectors from Molex take up only about 1/8th of the space of standard USB-B connectors.
Power connectors meet SSI specifications
The new DPS/MPS power connectors from Molex meet the Server System Infrastructure (SSI) open specifications for backplanes.
They also enhance front panel aesthetics, compared with traditional plastic adapters.
The four-position quad LC EMI adapters block EMI and RFI emissions from exiting the enclosures.
They provide multiple connection options from a single adapter, making this robust solution ideal for high-density applications such as hubs, servers, routers, and other telecommunications equipment.
Available in either snap-mount, front screw-mount or rear screw-mount installation styles, they allow for installation flexibility, while providing increased density in comparison to multiple duplex LC adapters.
The adapters also feature Molex's patented shutter system, providing dust protection and improved eye-safety protection for the user even when the adapter is not fully populated.
In addition, the adapters are offered with phosphor bronze metal or zirconia ceramic alignment sleeves to accommodate single mode, multimode or angle polish (APC) connectors.
"Mechanical design requirements are constantly demanding increased density and EMI shielding", said David Rifkin, Product Marketing Manager, Fibre Optics, Molex.
"As the latest addition to Molex's EMI adapter product line, the quad LC EMI adapters provide customers a product offering that addresses both of these needs, making it a robust solution".
Connection options for the quad LC EMI adapters include four simplex LC connectors, two simplex and one duplex LC connector, or two duplex LC connectors.
Mounting dimensions are identical to the duplex SC adapter and can be used as a direct drop-in replacement for density upgrade.
In addition to the quad LC EMI adapters, Molex's extensive EMI product offering includes SC, LC and MPO styles.
LC adapters are available in duplex and quad configurations.
SC adapters are available in simplex configurations, and MPO adapters are available in simplex or quad configurations.
External shutters and angle mounting options are also available on most of the EMI adapters.
