Compatible with MIL-STD-1553 and similar avionics communication protocols, it operates within harsh environmental conditions including vibration, temperature extremes, and moisture. The assembly interfaces with avionics and other military hardware platforms via standardized MIL-spec connectors, providing secure mechanical latching and keyed alignment to prevent misconnection. Commonly used for data, control, and power transmission in tactical, aerospace, and defense systems. ## Function Provides rugged, high-reliability electrical interconnection with military-grade shielding and environmental sealing for data and signal transmission in harsh operational environments; designed for integration within tactical communication, avionics, and electronic warfare systems operating on defense hardware platforms; interfaces with MIL-DTL-38999 connectors and supports high-frequency signal integrity while protecting against electromagnetic interference and mechanical stress. ## Platform The X4K-F1 cable assembly provides high-bandwidth signal transmission via four ruggedized MIL-DTL-38999 series III connectors with size 8 contacts. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbps and is designed for harsh environments. The cable features shielded twisted-pair (STP) construction with a fluoropolymer jacket. It interfaces with compatible equipment through threaded coupling and bayonet locking mechanisms, ensuring secure and reliable connections in military and aerospace applications. ## Application Designed for use in aerospace and defense applications, such as avionics and military vehicle electronics, where high-reliability and performance under extreme conditions are critical. It facilitates secure and efficient data transmission and power delivery between communication systems, sensors, and electronic warfare systems. Suitable for embedded systems requiring compliance with military specifications, ensuring functionality in rugged environments. Common in platforms with compact or confined spaces, demanding lightweight and corrosion-resistant connection solutions for mission-critical operations. ## Accessories MIL-STD-1553 0.5 meter cable assembly; typically includes twinaxial cable with MIL-C-39012 circular connectors (e.g., PL75 series) on ends; used for connection to EXC-4000PCI chassis modules; ruggedized for mil-spec environments; cable type often M17/176-00002 or TWAC-78-1F2 high-temperature twinax; connectors are 30-pin or 37-pin circular military standard with bayonet locking, designed for robust mechanical and shielding performance in harsh environments ## Interface MIL-DTL-38999 Series III circular connectors with EMI/RFI shielding, bayonet coupling mechanism, environmentally sealed to IP67 rating, operating temperature range -55°C to +125°C, designed for military aerospace applications requiring high-reliability signal transmission over 0.5 meter length ## Images - - - -
