It is 32% smaller and 45% lighter than a D-sub and can save as much as the weight of a passenger on a modern commercial airliner. Launched just six months ago, the microComp® QuickLatch is already being used on Airbus A350, A380, and A330 aircraft, as well as Boeing B747, B787, and B777 aircraft. The miniature design of the microComp® QuickLatch is a direct result of Souriau's expertise in composite injection molding and the optimization of contact retention systems. This miniature design, combined with the use of composite materials, makes the microComp® QuickLatch one of the lightest connectors on the market.
Mounted on the back of passenger seats, the microComp® QuickLatch supports Gigabit Ethernet networks and sends signals to each video display.
Its nickel coating ensures maximum protection against storms and electromagnetic interference, and its design and shielding level allow it to support up to four 100 Mbps Ethernet lines with excellent performance.
