Nautilus Cable Assemblies with IP67, IP68, and IP69K Protection

GCT's Nautilus cable assemblies with stainless steel (303) SMA connectors are designed to withstand extremely harsh environments, offering peak performance against corrosion. These assemblies are rated to IP67, IP68, and IP69K for high pressure and high-temperature washdown protection.

The SMA interface makes it one of the smallest solutions in the market specified to IP69K. Combined with a stainless steel body, the Nautilus connectors offer excellent corrosion resistance in a compact package. A choice of o-ring materials is available to further enhance performance best suited for users' demanding applications.

Currently, there are limited options available in the market for stainless steel SMA cable assemblies, specifically in SMA jack configuration. GCT is addressing the demand for assemblies used within increasingly demanding environments, helping to expand Nautilus solutions into different market applications as a result.

Standard waterproof SMA connectors made from gold plated brass struggle in specific applications within these industries. For example, the exposure to hydrogen sulfide found in underground sewer environments causes severe corrosion problems for equipment using standard brass SMA connectors. However, it is not an issue for stainless steel versions.

There are eight cable assemblies available with Nautilus stainless steel SMA connectors. These assemblies are available with either MMCX or I-PEX® MHF® as part of the assembly.
