Rugged D-Sub
These connectors provide low RF noise and high durability of up to 1,000 mating cycles. Sabritec connectors meet or exceed all requirements of MIL-STD-202 for shock and
vibration. Offered with 100 ohm quadrax and/or differential pair twinax contacts. Consult factory when other impedances are required. The size 10 contacts are 30% smaller package size than standard size 9 for tight space constraints. These contacts offer the same performance in a much smaller package size.

Passive Equalization Technology
Passive Equalization Technology (patent # 8,371,877 )
The robust ‘user-transparent’ device will extend the reach of high speed digital signals without using any system power or pc board real estate. It is intended for use in high speed (>2Gb/s) 100 Ohm differential interconnects. The unique design helps to offset those high frequency losses endemic to high speed digital interconnect paths that are primarily dispersive in nature.
In-Line Quadsplitter
Offers another solution for extending the distance that High Speed signals can be sent over a Quadrax architecture. We can combine the signal integrity of Twinax cables and the connection density of Quadrax contacts, by incorporating two 26 AWG Twinax cables into a standard Size 8 Quadrax contact. The resulting cable assembly is about the same size and weight as a 24 AWG Quadrax cable assembly and offers the same flexibility and ease of use.
