White Paper: Risk of Transmitting High-Speed Data in Aircraft Using MIL-DTL-38999 Connector Systems
White Papers, United States
Today's defense and passenger aircraft require higher bandwidth, controlled-impedance interconnects using high data rate protocols, like Ethernet. But, there are risks when using standard MIL-DTL-38999 connector systems to meet newer, more demanding high-speed data transmission requirements in avionics. W. L. Gore & Associates identifies these risks and evaluates standard connector configurations against more suitable aviation connector designs to achieve reliable 10-GB BASE-T data transfer, as defined in this white paper.
About the White Paper
Despite the many high-speed connector options that provide good-to-excellent signal integrity, design engineers are still using MIL-STD-DTL-38999 open pin field connectors, hoping to save money, combine more signals into one connector and simplify field repairs. But, these connectors often prove insufficient in reliably transferring high-speed data on modern airborne digital networks.
In the White Paper: Risk of Transmitting High-Speed Data in Aircraft using MIL-DTL-38999 Connector Systems, Gore describes the approach design engineers should take when specifying a complete high-speed interconnect system. We also evaluate various connector designs and compare electrical performance to help engineers ensure reliable high data rate performance in aerospace and defense applications and plan for future requirements.
