2M - Compact High-Speed P2P Cable Assemblies
Contact:
Description:
High-reliability aerospace and defense systems increasingly utilize commercial data protocols such as Ethernet and USB. However, commercial-grade connectors like RJ45 modular plugs are not designed for airframe or tactical environments, where shielding, environmental sealing, and mechanical durability are essential.
Amphenol High-Speed P2P Cables, with their compact design, rugged construction, and reliable availability, are widely deployed for 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T, and USB 2.0 applications across commercial air transport, military airframes, unmanned systems, and dismounted soldier platforms.
This 2M connector provides ordering and technical information for High-Speed P2P cable assemblies supporting standard signal, Ethernet, and USB applications. These assemblies feature military-grade construction, including overmolding, shielding, and durable jacketing.
FAQs: 2M P2P Cable Assemblies
How do 2M P2P assemblies protect high-speed signals?
The assemblies use ruggedized construction with environmental sealing, durable jacketing, and a silver-coated copper braid shield with 95% coverage over an aluminized Mylar shield. This construction helps protect signal integrity in electrically noisy, demanding environments.
Can 2M High-Speed P2P cable assemblies be customized?
Yes. Assemblies can be specified by protocol/cable type, jacket material, connector style, P1 and P2 termination, strain relief, protective covers, keying, finish, and cable length. Standard ordering examples begin at 12 inches, with longer lengths available.
What cable-jacket options are available?
Two primary jacket options are available:
- FEP jacket: Translucent blue, rated from -65°C to +200°C, with excellent solvent and abrasion resistance for airframe, avionics, and missile applications.
- Low-smoke, zero-halogen polyurethane jacket: Black, rated from -30°C to +105°C, with excellent flexibility and abrasion resistance for tactical, shipboard, armored vehicle, railcar, and dismounted-soldier applications.
What connector coupling options are available?
2M P2P assemblies can be configured with threaded, push-pull quick-disconnect, or bayonet-lock coupling styles. Plug and receptacle options, contact gender, keying, protective covers, finishes, and strain-relief styles can also be selected to suit the application.
What strain-relief options are available for 2M P2P cable assemblies?
Assemblies can be configured with a polyamide overmold, aluminum backshell, or heat-shrink boot. The preferred option depends on the application’s environmental, temperature, shielding, and mechanical-protection requirements.
Where are 2M High-Speed P2P assemblies used?
2M P2P assemblies are well suited for commercial air transport, military aircraft, unmanned systems, shipboard and ground platforms, and dismounted-soldier equipment where commercial data interfaces need a more rugged, sealed alternative.
