Amphenol Aerospace Octonet Contacts
Amphenol Aerospace Octonet Contacts feature eight strategically spaced inner contacts that form 100Ω matched impedance differential pairs. This superior Ethernet contact system is designed for MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors. The Octonet series is 10G Ethernet compliant and meets the performance specifications of CAT-6A cables. The contacts are available in a size 8 crimp termination style and can be installed in existing size 8 Quadrax cavities. Amphenol Aerospace Octonet Contacts are ideal for military and commercial air avionics as well as high-speed Ethernet applications.
