Omnetics’ Nano miniature Bi-lobe connectors are designed and connected to impedance controlled cable systems to provide high quality signal integrity for high-speed Gigabit signal processing needs between components and systems in highly rugged environments, such as helicopter systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other military applications.
They reduce space and weight. While previous versions of micro-connectors at 0.050 in. pitch, and even larger Mil-spec- circular connectors such as 38999 have been used, they have not been able to obtain the miniature size and portability required. Omnetics’ standard line of nano-sized Bi-lobe connectors at 0.025 in. pitch are mated with high-speed cable using differential signal hook-up methods that include dedicated drain wires to achieve the highest speeds possible. Up to and over 2 Gb/sec are achieved as cable lengths are maintained at a minimum length, and impedance matching is managed to retain the best possible performance. The key to this performance lies within a unique wiring methodology, precision processing of the interface between cable and connectors, as well as through the understanding of high-speed digital transmission technology.
EMI (electro-magnetic interference) requires serious attention as digital speeds increase and components are physically squeezed into smaller and tighter environments. Cable shielding and drain-wire methods are changing too, mainly as a way of protecting the signals being sent from one end to the other. The all-metal shells and shielded cable in Omnetics nano-connectors provide this ground management.
