Connectors & cables
Cliff increases range of fibre optic connectors, adapters and cables
suitable for many applications from high quality audio and broadcast systems, AV installations, automation, instrumentation, data and IT connectivity, medical equipment, instrumentation, industrial control, data acquisition and other high bandwidth signal connections.
C Optical connectivity is virtually
unaffected by electrical noise when transmitting and receiving digital signals and is rapidly becoming a standard feature of HDTV, high-quality audio equipment including portable products and IT systems. Cliff Electronics optical jacks are
available as single or dual optical transmitter/receiver versions with right-angle PCB mounting and a self-tapping screw hole for panel mounting. All conform to the EIAJ/JEITA rectangular standard CP- 1210, RC-5720 and JIS C5974-1993 F05 standards for digital audio interfaces including fibre-optic interconnections. Standard and low-profile versions
liff Electronics has increased its range of optical connectors, cables and accessories
are available, and three models replace a plug-in cover with a convenient hinged shutter to protect against contamination. Electrical specification of Cliff ’s optical jacks is; supply voltage -0.5 to 7.0V maximum, input voltage -0.5 to +0.5V maximum, operating temperature -20ºC to +70ºC and soldering temperature 260ºC maximum.
Fibre Optic Connectors are also
available in Cliff ’s Feedthrough connector series. SC Simplex, LC Duplex, TOSLINK EIAJ and now also the increasingly specified MTP brand MPO type fibre-optic connection options are available in plastic or rugged metal shells. Designed to fit into the industry standard 24mm diameter XLR connector panel cutout, this simplifies panel design and manufacture and improves end product aesthetics. Fibre-optic FeedThrough connectors may also be supplied pre-assembled into 19” rack panels to simplify and speed up system assembly. To accompany its optical connector range Cliff also manufactures moulded optical lead assemblies (TOSLINK cables) for use
transportation and many other places subject to extremes. Now Nicomatic is in demand in another sector where extremes are the norm – that of motorsport. The company’s engineers are currently working with multiple Formula 1 teams designing custom connectors and small modules to ensure ultra-reliable signal and power integrity in the latest-generation cars for this fast-paced sport. Designs based on customised 2mm pitch CMM and 1.27mm pitch EMM Series interconnects, which are both highly modular, save space and even more vitally in F1 cars, weight, while at the same time ensuring reliable signal and power integrity under high-vibration and heat conditions. Standard series CMM connectors, for example, save up to 60 per cent space and up to 50 per cent weight compared to other standard rectangular connectors with the same functionalities. The EMM Series is 40 per cent smaller than CMM and integrates features such as reversed contacts and 90° back protection. Custom solutions are a Nicomatic speciality, with over 1,000 completed every year by its engineers to solve customer challenges

LIGHTWEIGHT CUSTOM DESIGNS HELP F1 CARS STAY ON TRACK
icomatic’s high performance connectors are designed to withstand the rigours of extreme environments and have an enviable and proven record in space applications, aerospace, avionics, oil and gas,
with optical jacks. The TOSLINK (Toshiba Link) Optical Audio Data Cables conform to a standard, optical fibre, fiber,digital, audio interface and are available in 1.5 and 2.5 metre lengths. Lead terminals conform to the EIAJ/ JEITA rectangular standard CP-1201, RC-5720 and JIS C5974-1993 F05 standards for digital audio interfaces including fibre-optical fiber- optical interconnections.
Completing the Cliff Fibre-Optic product range is an adapter providing a 3.5mm jack connection from a TOSLINK cable termination. John Hall, managing director of
Cliff Electronics, comments; “Optical connectors are virtually unaffected by noise when transmitting and receiving signals and have been adopted as standard in many applications, including Professional Audio and Visual mixing desks and high-end consumer Audio applications and Telecom and Data Centres. Our wide range of feedthrough connector and jack options allow us to provide best-fit solutions for OEMs and Systems Integrators.”
