Reliable digital interfaces

The sheer number of interconnected systems on a modern commercial aircraft necessitates the implementation of faster and more reliable communication interfaces to ensure connectivity. Various ARINC and ABD standards exist today, supported by commercial off the shelf devices. In addition, surge suppression technologies like flat clamp protection and isolation can help reduce total system size.

To meet the needs of future aircraft systems, we are committed to supporting interface technologies such as Single-Pair Ethernet, while helping you increase inter-system data throughput and reducing cable harness complexity.
