Amphenol Aerospace, a global leader in interconnect technologies, now offers a new four-channel 10G-Base-T to XAUI connector product in addition to its current set of 10GbE products. The product facilitates the bi-directional protocol conversion of four channels of IEEE 802.3 XAUI through the appropriate PHY and transformer logic to IEEE 802.3 10G-Base-T.

In addition to the popular WSB-400 outdoor weatherproofing kit already available from Times Microwave Systems for LMR-400 connectors, kits are now also available for LMR-240 and LMR-600 connectors. The WSB-240 and WSB-600 kits work with the most popular LMR-240 EZ and LMR-600 EZ crimp connectors. The flexible silicone boot weatherproofing kits replace older weatherproofing methods, require no heat and only simple and easy hand assembly for valuable time saving in the field. The WSB-240 and WSB-600 kits are IP67 rated and both RoHS and REACH compliant.
