to achieve data speeds 10 times faster, of 5 Gbps, making them ideal for a wide variety of applications, ranging from data communications, computers, consumer equipment, household appliances, to industrial automation and automotive, including commercial vehicles.
“Maintaining fast and reliable connections for control elements in factory automation, commercial vehicle equipment, and other applications is a constant challenge,” says Ted Szarkowski, global integrated product manager for Molex, adding, “This, coupled with the demands of increased productivity, compels engineers to seek more robust solutions. Molex’s sealed, panel-mount USB 3.0 connectors, qualified for use in industrial environments, improve system performance and reliability with a robust, hermetically sealed design that protects against electromagnetic interference.”
Molex's industrial-grade, USB 2.0-compatible, sealed panel-mount USB 3.0 connectors and cable assemblies combine rugged construction with protective features. The IP67-compliant USB 3.0 connection system includes robust, overmolded cable assemblies with full shielding for high pull-out resistance and faster installation compared to on-site cabling. Additionally, the IP67-rated dust cap seals the connection tightly when not in use to prevent damage from harsh weather conditions. Furthermore, the fully shielded cable provides excellent protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring optimal reliability.
