Hercules Unleashed is a 10 Gb/s ruggedized commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) high-density interconnect system from Meritec. The Hercules Interconnection System is embedded in the rugged circular MIL-38999 shell to provide a durable and high bandwidth interconnect suitable for military and aerospace ruggedized high-bandwidth applications. The system meets USB 2.0 and 3.0, IB, SAS, SATA, Serial I/O, and PCIe protocols and is available in MIL-38999 Series III sizes: 9, 13, 17, and 23.
The Hercules Interconnect System was designed to be VITA 76.0 standard-compliant, which supports copper and active optic cabling to 10 Gbaud data rates. Hercules – packaged within rugged military shellwork – is available as plug-cable assemblies and either jam-nut or flange-mount receptacles for solder tail, press fit, or pigtail connections. Different jacket types are available – LSZH, PVC, FEP, and Halar Expando. The system supports data rates in excess of 10 Gb/s and carries differential-pair signaling with low-skew pairs and shielding for EMI/RFI protection. Meritec can also build custom lengths to order.
