FCI Basics Smart Card connectors are 8- or 16-pin connectors primarily used as full-size smart card readers. These are deployed in health, social security, ID cards, and credit card "chip-and-pin" schemes. These products also account for durability with a very large number of mating cycles.
The SMC interface features threaded coupling with 10-32 threads and is available in 50 and 75 Ohm configurations. SMC connectors offer broadband performance with low reflection DC to 10 GHz and are primarily used in telecommunications and instrumentation applications.
The SMP interface is a subminiature interface in the same scale as MMCX connectors but offers a frequency range of DC to 40 GHz. It is commonly used in miniaturized high frequency coaxial modules and is offered in both push-on and snap-on mating styles.
SOFIX® is a front IO interconnection system comprised of Right Angle headers and cable plugs, suitable for the distribution of power or signal. The design rules for the SOFIX® family of I/O connectors are derived from the Metral system (IEC 61076-104). As such, the SOFIX® system can be used as a complement to the Metral® backplane connector family or applied as a dedicated I/O solution.
SSMC connectors are ideal for limited-space applications that require the security of a threaded coupling mechanism. They are best used with semi-rigid cables or miniature flexible cables in demanding applications up to 12.4 GHz.
The Summit Rack can be mounted on ladder racks or wire baskets above the active equipment. The 19" spacing allows the installation of different panels, such as C2E, C2X, LCX, or patch plates, and is available in 3RU and 5RU configurations.
