AxoMach® High Speed Links for Spacecraft
AxoMach® high-speed links designed by Axon’ Cable are mainly used for the interconnection of high definition imagery sensors in satellites.
High-definition (HD) imagery sensors in satellites are specialized optical instruments designed to capture very detailed images of the Earth’s surface (or other observation targets) from orbit. They combine advanced optics, detectors, and onboard processing to achieve extremely fine spatial resolution, allowing features just a few tens of centimeters across (sometimes smaller) to be distinguished.
AxoMach® high speed links are cable assemblies made with low loss microwave coaxial cables and terminated with a full range of connector variants as well as in-line male and female variants (cable assemblies qualified to ESA ESCC3409/001).
AxoMach® connectors are available in panel mount and surface mount versions (qualified to ESAESCC3401/089) and also connector savers (ESCC3401/090). These high-speed links can also be terminated with SMA panel mount RF connectors at one end. The data transmission rate on this range is up to 10 Gb/s NRZ per lane.
AxoMach® high speed links are used for standards including Wizardlink and SpaceFibre.
New! AxoMach® high-speed data links are now ESA QPL listed https://escies.org. Qualification tests have been carried out in accordance with ESCC3409/001 for inline links and in accordance with ESCC3401/089 and ESCC3401/090 for equipment connectors and accessories.
