System Solution Guide

NEXT GENERATION X-TTA SOLUTION

Next generation WiMAX and Long Term Evolution (LTE) Fiber/Power/Signal To The Antenna (x-TTA) connectivity designs require rugged cable assemblies for outdoor use. For direct connection, these cable assemblies need to plug directly into the optical transceivers or other connector types though a bulkhead construction.
For this specific application, the connector design will need to accommodate for a large tolerance in Z-direction. Furthermore, the connector shell must allow for easy one handed mating. TE Connectivity’s (TE) Fula’s connector sealing systems were designed  to function with a very large Z-axis tolerance, hence accommodating for the broadest range of transceivers on the market. This unique feature allows end users to pick almost any transceiver they wish.
The Fula’s connector sealing system and cable assembly includes Fula’s Mini and Fula’s connector sealing products.

PRODUCT PORTFOLIO

CONNECTOR SEALING

BULKHEADS

Fula’s Mini connector sealing system delivers the small size and scalability to design in power and signal connectivity almost anywhere on the box. Easy- to-install mating features and ruggedized protection allow them to be installed in virtually any  environment.

EFFICIENCY IN DESIGN
Fula’s Mini connector sealing system is about 20% smaller than Fula’s products and can be placed almost anywhere on the box thanks to their flexible design. As space in the bottom of the box gets smaller and smaller, Fula’s Mini connector sealing products  make it easy to transmit power or signal using connections anywhere. Their modular design make them scalable in form, fit and function.

MATING MADE EASY
Fula’s Mini connector sealing system is one of the only products available that enable one-handed, blind installs from any angle including upside down. With 3-sense locking feedback, floating connection and a twist angle of only 30° , Fula’s Mini products  an be installed by field engineers of all levels of experience in virtually any location.

LONG LASTING IN HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
Fula’s Mini connector sealing system delivers a water tight seal up to IP67 and IP65 levels, uses UV material to meet F1 rating, UL 94-V0 and withstands lightning strike requirements per IEC 62305-1 for shielded version, up to 20kA at 10/350 micro sec.
