TE Connectivity to co-develop mini I/O plug with Amphenol FCI
TE Connectivity (TE) will partner with Amphenol FCI in the development of a new mini I/O plug that will provide EMI shielding and CAT6A signal integrity performance that meet future industrial communication standards.
The two companies have already collaborated in the development of the original mini I/O series of plugs, which stand out with their space-saving compact dimension and vibration resistance for industrial environments, ease of use, and durability. These features will be retained in the upgraded version. It will be available with straight and R/A cable outlets.
Global Product Manager, Industrial Communication Eric Leijtens says: "This new co-development project signals our strong commitment to the mini I/O product line and ensuring that it is ready for future developments in communications technologies. We intend to continue to expand the use of mini I/O plugs in the industrial market, with our development roadmap concentrating on higher data speeds and, further on, solutions for IP67 applications."
At Amphenol FCI, Commercial Portfolio Director Fabrizio Stango says: "These mini I/O plugs are an important addition to the mini I/O interconnection platform for many of our customers and this new cooperative development will ensure that they continue to support future industrial requirements."
