Also on show will be the ODU-Mac range, which offers versatile rectangular, modular connectors in four variants:

  • ODU-Mac Blue‐Line for manual‐mating, plus variants for automatic docking.
    Different frame sizes, modules and housings allow a wide range of transmission media to be combined in one connector – precisely tailored to your application.
  • ODU-Mac White‐Line offers highly ergonomic handling, thanks to numerous locking options,
    such as snap-in, spindle or lever, together with wide variety of plastic and metal housings.
  • ODU-Mac Silver‐Line for high-reliability docking systems.
    Eight docking frames, in configurable lengths, equipped from over 30 data-transmission modules, tailored to your applications. An optional quick‐change head can provide up to 10 million mating cycles.
  • ODU-Mac Black‐Line is the interface solution for mass interconnects in testing PCB’s and electronically assembled units, serving as the interface between the device/unit under test and the test instruments.

Additional fibre-optic options
ODU have now transferred their high-performance expanded-beam technology from their existing high performace military connectors to other connectors in their portfolio, to provide solutions for an even wider range of industries and applications.
