RJ45 SuperNine MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Type Connectors

The SuperSeal family of ruggedized Cat 5e and 6A SuperNine connectors are IP68 rated in the mated condition for reliable environmental field use. SuperSeal connectors provide military grade protection and durability for operational use under harsh environmental conditions. SuperSeal connectors benefit from increased operating temperature range, longer life cycle and, significantly improved vibration and shock performance. CAT 5e and 6A RJ45 Ethernet is the standard data communication protocol for gathering, distribution and sharing of C4ISR information to and from command and field units within military, police fire and rescue organizations. SuperSeal provides key performance benefits including superior sealing, grounding, and wire termination for more flexible and reliable communications in rugged field applications.

RJ45 Transient Voltage Suppression SuperNine MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Type Connectors

Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) technologies are designed to shunt voltage transients directly to ground before such surges can damage sensitive electronic equipment. Individual TVS diodes as well as diode modules are incorporated directly into the TVS filter connector package to provide optimal protection for either individual contacts or groups of contacts without significant increases in connector size or weight. RTCA DO-160 and other electrical performance standards define acceptable benchmarks for withstanding electromagnetic pulse, lightning strike, or other induced voltage surges in high-reliability systems. For high-speed signals, care must be taken in selecting diodes to minimize capacitance loading effects which can lead to signal loss. Glenair SuperSeal™ TVS-equipped RJ45 connectors have been engineered to transmit high-speed signals while providing indirect lightning strike protection in accordance with the RTCA DO-160 standard.

MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Type HDMI 2.0 Connectors and Cable Assemblies

HDMI has become the defacto connector interface for the transmission of compressed and uncompressed high-resolution video and is widely supported across multiple manufacturer displays as the replacement for analog video transmission. The HDMI 2.0 standard provides greater audio and video signal capacity and is excellent for delivery of video and audio data where clear, high-quality reproduction is necessary. Although well-suited for commercial applications these interfaces are not designed for exposure to the harsh operating conditions encountered in military field use and harsh-environment aerospace applications. SuperSeal, the SuperNine product series for HDMI 2.0 resolves these shortcomings by introducing a ruggedized solution with increased operating temperature range, improved shock and vibration and IP68 mated and IP67 unmated performance.
