Molex Unites with Optical Internetworking Forum Members to Demonstrate Industry-First High-Speed Interconnect Solutions at ECOC 2012

Molex Incorporated will join forces with other Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) members in showcasing 100Gb/s interconnect speeds at the OIF interoperability live demonstrations during the ECOC 2012 Exhibition being held September 17-19 at the RAI Convention Center in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. ECOC Exhibition is the largest European optical communications event for professionals in the fiber optic technology industry.

Two of the ECOC demonstrations showcase Molex zQSFP+™ interconnects—the world’s first QSFP-based interconnects to achieve data rates in excess of 100Gb/s—operating in the demonstrations at up to 25.78Gb/s per lane. Supporting OIF’s CEI-28G-VSR interfaces, 100Gb/s Ethernet and 100Gb/s Inifiniband* Enhanced Data Rate applications, the zQSFP+ Active Optical Cable and zQSFP+ electrical interconnects transmit rates up to 4km with excellent cooling, unparalleled signal integrity, superior EMI protection and the lowest power consumption in the optical industry.

“By successfully demonstrating interoperability of a high-speed multi-channel system, Molex and its OIF partners help pave the way for next-generation, high-speed connectivity,” said Scott Sommers, group product manager, Molex. “This is a critical step in meeting the high-performance needs of future bandwidth-intensive communications systems.”

As host of the exhibition’s multi-vendor demonstrations, OIF marks the initial European demonstration of the 28Gb/s interconnects with retimers and a Molex zQSFP+ Active Optical Cable. Live demonstrations will operate continuously while the show is open. The OIF physical and link layer interoperability demonstrations featuring the Molex zQSFP+ and Active Optical Cable and other OIF partner technologies are scheduled at OIF booth #269 during ECOC 2012 exhibition hours.

Tom Marrapode, fiber optics global marketing director, Sommers and other Molex industry experts will be on hand at OIF booth demonstrations and during exhibit hours at the ECOC 2012 Molex booth #512 to discuss the company’s comprehensive portfolio of industry-leading, end-to-end high-speed interconnect solutions designed for next-generation applications.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
