ESCON Connectors & Adapters Features & Benefits • Fully compatible with IBM • • • • • ESCON* architecture Positive latching mechanism Self aligning and free floating ferrule design Zirconia ceramic ferrules - Pre-radiused and pre-polished Polarized housing with retractable shroud Low insertion loss: < .15 dB TYP Applications • Fiber optic link IBM ESCON • • • • networks Peripheral control units Storage devices Processors Workstations The Enterprise Systems CONnection (ESCON) architecture was developed for high speed communication between mainframes and storage devices, peripheral control units, cluster controllers and other networks. Molex’s ESCON series of connectors are fully compatible with the requirements of this architecture. The connector is designed using the latest engineered polymer and ceramic materials featuring pre-radiused and pre-polished zirconia ceramic PC ferrules and a rugged polymer housing with a retractable shroud. Molex’s unique termination process and the factory polished and radiused ferrules combine to produce quick and consistent ESCON terminations. Adapters are available in either flange or snap-in mounting styles. Precision zirconia ceramic or polymer alignment sleeves can be provided with either mounting style. *ESCON is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
