OPTIMIZE YOUR DESIGNS WITH ENHANCED PORT DENSITY
Gain up to 10 ports of 10G Ethernet with MACHFORCE connectors—an ideal solution to save space and reduce weight while seamlessly integrating into complex systems without compromising performance or reliability.
INNOVATIVE HIGH SPEED MODULE DESIGN
The High Speed Module enhances signal integrity while maximizing data density with its linear configuration. This design ensures easy access to every terminated pin, delivering optimal performance and reliability.
High Speed Module
The High Speed Module (HSM) ensures that every twisted pair maintains its twist right up to the contact, achieving unmatched impedance control.
HSM Construction
Vertical fins in the HSM create a shield between the twisted pairs, isolating each data pair from the next by reducing cross talk in your system.
Grooves in the HSM snap each contact into place to secure your connectivity in high-vibration environments. These grooves also isolate each wire in the data pair to maximize cross-talk protection.
Maintaining Grounding Connection
Under the clamping mechanism of the HSM, the cable’s shielding is secured and grounded to the HSM. When the HSM is inserted into the MACHFORCE connector body, the grounding connection is maintained throughout the entire solution. This contributes to better isolation of the twisted pair’s signals.
