Introducing Ultra‑Rugged USB‑C – The New Standard in Harsh‑Environment Connectivity

🔗 Introducing Ultra-Rugged USB-C – The New Standard in Harsh-Environment Connectivity
Excited to spotlight Fischer Connectors latest innovation: the UltiMate™ USB-C connector with Ratchet Locking System (RLS), released May 8 2025.

🚀 Why it matters:
Designed for extreme applications — defense, mining, construction, motorsports, railways — where vibration and shock are the normal.
The RLS’s asymmetrical tooth profile ensures secure locking under high-frequency vibration, yet remains tool-free and glove-friendly.
Tested to 37.8 Grms random vibration and 300 g shock, withstanding industrial-grade stress.

🔋 Robust specs:
Data speeds up to USB 3.2 Gen 1×2 (10 Gbit/s)
IP68 sealed plug, hermetic receptacle, –30 °C to +80 °C range
3,000 mating cycles & full 360° EMC shielding

This truly bridges the gap between “ultra-standard” and “ultra-rugged”, delivering reliable power, data, and video where it counts.
