The 3-in-1 locking, by offering the option of connecting any screw-lock, push-pull or break-away plug into a common receptacle allows for maximum interface flexibility in a vehicle.

Designed for integration into a wide range of military and civilian applications, from ground and air vehicles to radar systems or inverters, ODU's connectivity solution guarantees reliable performance under the harshest conditions.

The extreme interconnectivity of the system makes the ODU AMC Series T ideally suitable, for example, as an interface for communication systems that alternate between in-vehicle and dismounted use.
