Data protocols are constantly evolving to enable interoperability and reliable transfer of increasing amounts of data at the highest speeds between more and more connected devices. To address this technological challenge, Fischer Connectors is expanding its platform capabilities to meet the most demanding connectivity requirements for high-speed data transfer using the USB 3.2 Gen 2 protocol up to 10 Gbit/s.
Fischer Connectors’ high-speed solutions with USB 3.2 Gen 2 up to 10 Gbit/s meet the versatile requirements of a wide variety of applications, from surgical equipment in operating rooms and small computers and peripherals for soldiers, to outdoor test & measurement applications and civil and military drones.
The Swiss-based company has developed new USB 3.2 connectors and cable assembly solutions in three of its flagship product lines to meet signal integrity and harsh environment requirements for medical, defense, industrial and instrumentation applications such as:
• Surgical equipment in the operating room, USB3 cameras in orthopedic surgery or endoscopic devices, and instrumentation applications such as assembly production lines and outdoor inspections in radiation and/or contaminated areas, with the ersatile, highly customizable Fischer Core Brass Series – 9 pins in Ø 15.5 mm (‘size 1031’ plug), resistant to chemicals and sterilization processes.
• Applications where SWaP (size, weight and power) is critical, such as miniature body-worn computers and peripherals, high-performance lidars and high-speed intercom boxes, with the ultra-miniature, high-density Fischer MiniMax™ Series – 9 pins in Ø 12.9 mm (‘size 08’ plug) or 12 signal and power pins in Ø 14.9 mm (‘size 10’ plug), including high power up to 8A.
• Civil and military drones equipped with USB3 cameras, and a wide range of military specifications (MILSPEC) applications, with the rugged, compact, lightweight Fischer UltiMate™ Series – 9 pins in Ø 18.5 mm (‘size 11’ plug), 360° EMC shielding, resistance to shock, vibration and corrosion up to 1,000 hours of salt mist.
