Helping High-Speed Data Projects Take Flight With Tomorrow’s Ruggedized Connectivity Technology−Today

MACHFORCE is an innovative and rugged D38999 style 10G Ethernet connector engineered for sophisticated, high-speed electronics in the aerospace and defense market.

We understand your time is valuable, so we designed many features into the MACHFORCE connectors to reduce install or repair time and get you back to the mission at hand.

MACHFORCE is also offered as a complete assembly for unique applications and streamlining installations. For custom configurations, contact PIC Wire & Cable.

BUILD YOUR PART

Our Patented High-Speed Module Makes it Possible

TRANSMITS MORE DATA IN LESS SPACE

• The rectangular pin configuration of the HSM improves density.
• Size 25 housing accommodates 10 Ethernet cables.
• Size 17 housing accommodates 4 Ethernet cables.

Maximized Shell Size Density Reduces Interconnect Footprint

OUTSTANDING HIGH-SPEED PERFORMANCE

• The HSM maintains data pair twists to control impedance.
• Aluminum fins of the HSM isolate data pairs to reduce crosstalk.
• A unique shield termination design provides 360° grounding contact.

Robust Signal Integrity for Multiple Disconnects

REDUCES INSTALLATION TIME & OFFERS REPAIRABILITY

• Industry-standard tools, 22D pins & sockets allow for simplified termination.
• The interface between the connector body and HSM provides direct access to terminated wires.
• PCB accessibility allows for pin changes without disturbing contacts or board components.
• The anti-decoupling ring is easily disconnected, even with a gloved hand.

Direct Access to Every Terminated Pin Makes On-Site Repairs Possible

RUGGEDIZED TECHNOLOGY FOR CHALLENGING APPLICATIONS

• The anti-decoupling ring allows for a secure connection in high shock and vibration environments.
• Olive Drab Cadmium plating ensures connector longevity.
• Backshells provide strain relief and ingress protection against sand, dust, and fluids.

Shielded 10G Ethernet Cable Solutions

MACHFORCE connectors have been tested and qualified with PIC Wire & Cable’s DataMATES® 10G Ethernet cables. The E6A6824 and E6A6826 CAT6a cables offer a shielding design that minimizes crosstalk between twisted pairs. These cables feature silver-plated copper braided shielding as well as foil shielding that reduces electromagnetic waves which are emitted from the pairs. When the MACHFORCE connector is paired with E6A6824 and E6A6826 cables, the resulting electrical performance allows for industry-leading cable lengths and multiple connection breaks.
