The Rosenberger MTD® Connection System is an industry standard* Ethernet transmission system for optimized jacketed Twisted-Pair cables. Its excellent transmission and electrical performance, reduced weight, size and cost benefits have set new standards for 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps single connection Ethernet implementation in vehicles. Compared to other solutions currently available a key advantage of Rosenberger’s new connection system is the impedance-controlled transition area from cable to connector interface. Its small size in combination with several coding features allows multiple wire pairs to be placed in close proximity ensuring installation space is kept to a minimum. Furthermore, the honeycomb structure provides low crosstalk, good symmetry and can be extended modularly.

Rosenberger provides a variety of DIN 41626 coaxial and power inserts. Their small dimensions allow high packing densities with easy mixed card edge connection via the snap-in method.

The Rosenberger Spring Loaded Coax System is designed to make quick, reliable and low abrasion PCB con­nections – up to 18 GHz (SMA interface) or up to 40 GHz (RPC-2.92 interface) – to single-layer or multi-layer printed circuit boards with the microwave layer on top.

3M™ Expanded Beam Optical (EBO) Latch Connector for PreCONNECT® solutions The best of both worlds: Singlemode and expanded beam connectors Reliable connectors that can be repeatedly plugged in and unplugged while still maintaining constant performance over all fibers – that is what 3M™ EBO has to offer. The innovative yet extremely simple structure of this expanded beam plug connector permits repeated plugging and unplugging with no loss of performance and no need to clean the end faces. What is more, it is all but insensitive to vibrations and dust. Because the end faces of the fibers do not physically touch one another, the risk of chipping, scratches and damage is eliminated, while simultaneously guaranteeing outstanding IL and RL performance. In contrast to earlier expanded beam methods, the 3M™ EBO Expanded Beam Latch connector uses a new mirror reflex collimation lens in order to expand the light path and overcome the effect of surface particles on the IL and RL performance. Tiny deviations in the fiber alignment in plug connections (lateral offset) are all but eliminated. This new technology, which has been patented by 3M™, not only permits multimode applications but also makes it possible to use the expanded beam for singlemode applications – something that was not possible in the past, in particular in the case of multiple fibers.
