BIRNS, Inc. is including new which means to its tagline of Excessive Efficiency Underneath Stress, with new capabilities for its traces of deep submergence RF connectors and cable assemblies. Current stringent testing has led to coax “1C” contact configurations of the favored BIRNS Millennium™ connector sequence to obtain certification to open face stress to six,000 meters.
The corporate developed new coax contacts a number of years in the past that have been examined to face up to open face hydrostatic stress to 1,443 meters. Its RF developments have been already main the business in low insertion losses and excessive frequency functionality matched with stress resistance capabilities, with proprietary know-how offering most insertion losses of ≤0.7 dB UHF insertion loss and ≤1.7:1 VSWR at 3GHz.
Nonetheless, the brand new 40 cycle open face hydrostatic testing protocols yielded even decrease insertion losses: at 8800 psi, losses of solely -0.35dB at 3.0 GHz with a VSWR of 1.2. The brand new certification of 6,000 meters open confronted resistance will present a wider vary of extremely superior connectivity choices for builders of subsea methods, based on BIRNS.
