ODU Connectors adds half-rack compact class line to its Black-Line range. The existing ODU-MAC Black-Line variants provide up to 4,608 signal points, making them real heavyweights in test and measurement. However, not every customer needs this, hence the new Compact Class, which provides to 1,536 signal points.

The Compact Class requires only half the width of a classic 19 inch test cabinet – setting a new standard for powerful, flexible and space-saving test solutions.

Characterized by its user-friendliness, the mechanical coding prevents the receiver from mismating and, thanks to condition monitoring by means of a microswitch, it is possible to determine whether the docking process has been completed – making testing processes more convenient and safer.

There are three options to choose for the receiver:

Housing Option – enables ergonomic handling and reliable locking by hand lever

ITA (Interchangeable Test Adapter) Option – easily integrate common test equipment

Connector Option – with ODU-MAC® Rapid connectors.

There is also a 600A power block with two 16 mm Lamtac Flex contacts.
