The Amphenol USB Field system transforms standard USB 2.0 cordsets into robust connectors designed for harsh environments. It offers superior protection against fluids and dust (IP67), shock, vibration, and traction. Key advantages include eliminating the need for in-field cabling and tools, featuring mechanical coding/polarization for secure connections, and providing enhanced EMI protection. The system utilizes a MIL-DTL-38999 series III type Tri-Start Thread coupling mechanism with an anti-decoupling device. Applications span across embedded computers, data acquisition, and transmission in demanding sectors like railways, battlefield communication systems, and navy systems.
