Quadrax Contact
Today’s technology for Airbone and Military equipment is more and more complex, requiring the management of an increasing flow of
information at greater speeds. In response to this need, SOURIAU offers a wide range of copper and fiber optic solutions for high speed networks
in harsh environments. These solutions can handle data speeds from several Mbit/s up to several Gbit/s using a wide array of communication
protocols (Ethernet, ATM,...).
Quadrax is the best solution for user requiring copper technology.
Field of applications
High speed copper network applications with optimum performances requiring full 360° shielding. Excellent network performances
(crosstalk, return loss), high density of links, and/or harsh environment use. Typical network applications: 100Mbit/s Ethernet, Gigabit
Ethernet, IEEE 1394, Fibre Channel.
Description
• Front and rear removable versions available.
• Crimp and PC tail versions available.
• Standard #8 cavity insertion and removal tools.
• Ground connection of the cable braid to the shell possible
through the external shell of the # 8 contact.
• Compatible with star quad cable.
• Characteristic impedance of 100 Ohms.
• Operating temperature : - 65°C/+ 200°C.
• Inner contact: copper alloy.
• Body: copper alloy.
• Insulator: thermoplastic.
• Contact plating: gold over nickel plated.
Electrical Performance of the Quadrax Contact
• Contact resistance (low level): initial 15 mOhms, after tests
30 mOhms.
• Dielectric withstanding voltage.
Sea level = 500 Vrms between signal contacts and signal
contact/body.
21000m = 125 Vrms between signal contacts and signal
contact/body.
Contact resistance at rated current :
• Insulation resistance: at ambient temperature >5000 MOhms
at high temperature >1000 MOhms.
• Characteristic Impedance = 100 Ohms@100 MHz.
• Attenuation < 0,3 dB@100 MHz typical per contact pair
(cat5E requirement 0,3 dB@100 MHz).
• Crosstalk > 40 dB@100MHz typical (cat5E requirement 40 dB).
• Contact to shell continuity < 10 mOhms (ARINC600).

Quadrax Technology
Quadrax Technology major Technical Features and Benefits
Superior signal integrity performance thanks to an innovative insert
• Insert design enabling radial insertion of inner crimped contact.
• Radial insertion of contacts in insert enabling minimum untwisting of the cable for wiring operation.
• Minimum untwisting of the cable = improved cross talk performance.
