Te Nanobend cable assembly from Huber+Suhner has been launched to help industries operating critical operations to benefit from improved connectivity in small spaces. Designed for applications in defence, aerospace and test and


measurement markets where space, weight and performance are critical, the product is the latest addition to the company’s Minibend product line. Te entire cable assembly is designed to be flexible and enable tight


bending where the cable and connector meet, without compromising on signal strength or stability. Nanobend is suited to frequencies of up to 65GHz, and ensures strength and reliable connectivity in high- stress environments. It is triple shielded to minimise radio frequency leakage, further increasing its durability in extreme conditions. It is also suited to close-quartered situations, as it has an outer cable diameter of only 1.62mm. Designed to meet Sensor Open System Architecture standards


(SOSA), the cable assembly provides plug-and-play capability with existing market solutions, making upgrades flexible and cost-effective. In addition, specially designed connectors offer end-to-end contacts that meet common industry standards, including SMA, SMP, SK, SMPM and SMPM-T.


ViaLite’s new HRC-5 rack chassis-based monitoring and control (M&C) module is designed to fully monitor and control ViaLiteHD RF over fibre systems in a single chassis. Te module provides similar features to the company’s premium


HRC-3, but without the optical fibre connections, making it a cost- effective option for monitoring local systems. Compatible with ViaLiteHD 1U and 3U rack chassis units and cards,


it provides alarm monitoring and event logging. Connectivity includes a 10/100/1000Mb/s RJ45 connection and a micro-USB control port. Te M&C module uses the company’s Horizons soſtware with


integrated web GUI and SNMP protocol, which provides stand-alone control without requiring Java, Windows drivers or a separate web browser. A maintenance mode enables modifications to be carried out offline. Te auto card configuration function means that new RF over-fibre


link cards can be automatically re-programmed with the parameters of the previous card. Te HRC-5 is available as an embedded option in a range of ViaLite’s outdoor enclosures, including the Satcom6.


New test and measurement line to cover multiple applications


www.optotest.com


Recently revealed from OptoTest is a line of handheld equipment for a range of applications, including data centres, enterprise LAN, telecommunications, aerospace, defence and industrial networks. Products include the OP310 optical power meter, OP350 optical light Source, OP360 bidirectional insertion


and return loss tester, and OP380 insertion loss tester. Tis range is designed to be rugged, easy to use, and includes features and automation for anywhere a handheld solution is needed, from outside on a boom liſt to inside an aircraſt or the crawl space of a building. All OptoTest handheld instruments incorporate a high contrast, multi-function backlit display that can be read


in bright sunlight or in the dark, and a simple user interface with multi-function keys. Teir compact polycarbonate housings incorporate bumpers and dust caps, and meet MIL PRF 28800F Class 2 general requirements for durability and environmental protection, while keeping overall weight to under one pound. Advanced features built into the OP310, OP360 and OP380 meters and testers include an autotest mode


that displays measurements for up to three wavelengths simultaneously, a multi-fibre ID that identifies up to 12 different test tones from multiple sources, and a large internal memory that records a timestamp and user- specified cable name. OP350 sources can be ordered with a mix of LED and laser sources, or with LED or laser sources only. Available


wavelengths are 470 nm to 1300 nm for LED sources, and from 1310 nm to 1625 nm for laser sources. Ultra- stable LED sources and zero warm-up time laser sources are also available for long-term monitoring and other demanding applications.
