Part of the comprehensive portfolio also are a complete line of Fibre Channel connectors and contacts including micro twinax, quadrax, quadsplitter, MIL-DTL-38999 twinax contacts, and blindmate twinax connectors.

The space level triax/twinax connectors feature multiway twinax/triax connector line (MTC), size 10 triax contacts with blindmate between series adapters, and NDL-T threaded triax connectors.

The coaxial connector line includes micro-D connectors with multipin assemblies and SMP and SMPM (miniature SMP) coaxial connectors, contacts, and cable assemblies.

Sabritec's space connectors provide low insertion force with high durability power signal coax and triax connectors and contacts.

The multiway (MTC) triax connector mates 2, 7, 12 or 14 contacts in a single interface and provides a polarising shell to prevent mismating.

Accessories include backshells (EMI and power), protective covers and sealing plugs.

Sabritec's space level connectors meet requirements for outgassing, toxicity, flammability and environmental concerns such as vibration and high/low temperature suitable for use in space and military/aerospace applications.
