USB Cables & Connectors

Amphenol presents the first full range of USB 2.0 connections for harsh environments: the USB A connectors have now been joined by USB B cables and connectors (to link up peripherals). The range is also set apart by its mechanical strength and its ease of fitting without tools. Its applications lie in industrial and military fields alike. The USB Field range is the only one that features reinforced cables and metal-bodied connectors. It is also one of the few ranges providing solutions for USB A and USB B connections. The sheaths of the USB leads are reinforced with double shielding. They comply with Fire and Smoke regulations, i.e., they are self-extinguishing and halogen-free (UL94-V0). All these solutions ensure excellent resistance to industrial and military environments: IP67 waterproofing and resistance to salt spray for 48 to 500 hours depending on the type protection. They can be used in a wide temperature range, from -40?C to +85?C. The locking system uses a screw thread, and it incorporates an anti-uncoupling system that provides very good levels of resistance to vibrations and impacts. The Amphenol offer also includes versions dedicated to applications subjected to major levels of disturbances due to electromagnetic fields, together with hardened, lockable USB sticks with up to 32 Gb of memory, and featuring the same technical characteristics. The range fully complies with the USB 2 standard, providing flows of up to 480 Mb/s for Full Speed USB. The connectors are very easy to install. They can be fitted on standard USB cables in just a few seconds to convert them into IP67 leads. They can be installed without tools.
