Vita 66.1 Fiber Optic Interconnects
Amphenol’s proposed VITA-66.1 MT connector provides a reliable high speed connection for the most extreme commercial and military environments. This ruggedized interconnect is among the highest density of connector products on the market.
MT ferrules can be accommodated as follows:
• Up to 24 fiber optic channels per MT ferrule
• Up to 48 channels per connector
MT ferrules are not supplied by Amphenol. Connectors are supplied less the MT ferrules.
Amphenol’s VITA 66.1 Interconnect is designed in accordance with the VPX Technology Road-map.
Viper: High Speed,high Density Modular Interconnects
The VIPER® Connector is a shielded, high-density, hi-speed modular interconnect with press-fit termination that meets or exceeds future avionic high-level requirements such as:
• High-level vibration and mechanical shock protection
• Condensing moisture resistance
• Ruggedization in packaging that can scale to higher bandwidths without costly and time consuming chassis redesigns. The VIPER connector platform offers the ability to scale from 80 Mb/s to over 10 Gb/s while retaining the same VITA 46 platform slot pitch at 20.3mm to 25.4mm.
