Solutions comprise harnesses ranging from basic bundled RF cable interconnects to sophisticated “fan-out” designs calling for stringent RF matching, complex housings, and multi-channel connectivity compliance. Plug-to-Plug with Armor Armored harness assemblies are typically used to connect boxes together when maximum protection of the cable is required. Various types of armor are available, from the extremely crush- and environmentally resistant rubber coated metal armors to the light weight corrugated PEEK plastic. The most popular finishes for the connectors and backshells are nickel or cadmium. Plug-to-Plug with Expando Jacket Typically used to connect boxes or test equipment, these harness assemblies have a textile “Expando” braid over the cable assemblies to keep them contained and provide abrasion resistance. In some cases the routing convenience alone is reason to use this type of an assembly, rather than struggle with multiple individual cables. This is a lower cost option than an armored assembly, and a...

The Mini-MultiMate® is a compact, rugged, splash-resistant interconnect system that allows multiple high frequency connections (up to 50 GHz) with a single connector. As an interconnect between a panel or PCB, the Mini-MultiMate’s compact size and utilization of Storm Flex® 047 & 086 cables makes it the perfect fit for high density layouts. Built to be durable, Storm Flex® 047 & 086 cables have the flexibility to handle tight bends and offer superior and consistent electrical performance with flexure. The Mini-MultiMate® also accepts 047 & 086 semi-rigid cables. Ease-of-use features include port identification on the connector block and the ability to replace individual channel assemblies.

VITA 67.1 & .2 VITA 67 components are connector blocks that utilize SMPM & OSMM RF interfaces and cables to make the electrical connection between circuit boards. Designed to accommodate 0.086” or 0.047" diameter cables, the rugged VITA 67 blocks are perfectly complemented by their pairing with Teledyne Storm Microwave’s Storm Flex® 086 and 047 cables. These Storm Flex® cables have the flexibility to handle tight bends, and are known for their durability and superior electrical performance. The VITA 67–Storm Flex® combination is ideally suited for not only commercial applications, but also the often harsh requirements of military and aerospace applications. VITA 67.3 VITA 67.3 Nano RF & SMPM assemblies are a part of VPX systems and is the latest spec revision that allows for more customization with RF connectors. The embedded computing architecture allows for fixed plug-in module contacts mating to a spring loaded backplane. The VITA standard ensures interoperability across all vendors with high electrical...
