The new year also brings with it a novelty with the launch of the VITA 66

In the industrial field, where technology and innovation are fundamental pillars, a news item that does not go unnoticed by high-level engineers emerges at WORLDWIDE WCE. VITA 66, a standard for optical interconnects in the VPX ecosystem (VITA 46), is presented as a robust and reliable solution to face the challenges of harsh environments.

What is VITA 66?

This connector has been designed with ruggedness and reliability in mind. Its scalability allows it to accommodate a wide variety of optical connector types and configurations, thus meeting the needs of various industrial applications.

Highlighted Features:

  1. High Density: Each connector can support up to 24 optical channels (and up to 48 with 2 MT ferrules).
  2. PRIZM® MT Technology Integration: Versions 66.1 and 66.4 of this connector incorporate US Conec’s PRIZM® MT ferrule, which utilizes expanded beam technology.
  3. Operation: Each end of the ferrule is equipped with a lens. The first lens expands the signal, which is then recollimated by the second lens.

Key Benefits:

  • Increased durability: Since there is no direct contact between the connector parts, the mechanical stress generated by the mating cycles is reduced.
  • Facilidad de mantenimiento: Comparado con los conectores de contacto físico, este diseño es menos frágil y más sencillo de limpiar y mantener.
  • Less sensitivity to dust: The robustness of the lenses contributes to greater resistance to dust particles.

In summary, VITA 66 stands as a reliable choice for optical connectivity in demanding industrial environments. Senior engineers will find this standard a valuable tool for their projects and technical challenges.
