USB-C Feedthrough connectors from Cliff Electronics

CLIFF Electronics’ successful range of XLR-format feedthrough data connectors has been further increased with the addition of single and dual USB-C versions. The industry standard, 24-pin, fully reversible USB-C connector provides high speed transport of data and power connecting system hosts to peripheral devices. It replaces various USB-B and USB-A connectors and cables with a future-proof standard.

 

The new USB-C feedthrough is available with either one or two connectors. A plastic or rugged nickel or black metal finished XLR housing enhances the high quality, high performance and prestige image of this new product range. All Cliff feedthrough connectors may be front or rear mounted to control panels. Metal and plastic versions share the same features and dimensions.

 

The FT series offers true feed-through connection, allowing standard cabling to be used at both front and rear. This eliminates the need to solder or terminate the connections which simplifies and speeds up assembly.

 

Cliff’s extensive feedthrough connector range is designed to fit into the industry-standard, 24 mm-diameter, XLR connector panel cut-out. This simplifies panel design and manufacture whilst improving design aesthetics. esthetics. This proven format has been very well received by product designers and system integrators.

 

The FT connector range allows designers to integrate audio, video, digital, optical, networking and data feeds into professional equipment for broadcast, lighting, audio and industrial applications.

Our FT connector range continues to grow to meet new connector standards, market demand and new applications. Using the industry standard XLR packaging allows our customers to simplify and standardise standardize their panel design, improving flexibility and reducing cost.  Our new feedthrough connecters are being employed in many more applications in instrumentation and industrial markets where our ability to provide custom solutions is welcomed.”.

 

Other models in the fast-growing range provide analogue, analog, digital and optical feedthrough connectivity in formats including USB3 to USB3 in configurations of A-to-A, A-to-B and B-to-A. Also available are popular data and ethernet connectors including LC and SC fibre, fiber, (Duplex and Simplex), UTP and FTP RJ45s in both Cat6 and Cat5e, (shielded and unshielded), USB A/B changers, TOSLINK, RCA phono, phono / cinch, HDMI, BNC and blanking plates.

For ease of assembly, the Cliff FT connectors are available with standard or countersunk mounting holes. Bezels are available in several colours colors to help identify functionality when fitted to a control panel.
