The ACARA series is a new line of EMI-filtered electrical connectors that reduce the number of components and the labor required for assembly and installation, as well as wire preparation and crimping, by up to 80%. The ACARA connectors deliver exceptional RF attenuation, preventing RF emission and protecting sensitive computers, as well as switching and cellular equipment. This makes the new series ideal for central office equipment, such as switches, hubs, routers and VoIP equipment, and large enterprise servers. The connectors are also useful in the military, broadcast, testing, solar/wind power, and oil exploration industries.

The connectors are available in current ratings from 65 to 100 A in a variety of capacitance values from 100 to 600 nF. They offer excellent EMI suppression to very high frequencies of up to 6 GHz, and the insertion loss is less than 100 dB beyond 6 GHz.

A positive latch prevents accidental disconnects, but allows for immediate power disconnect for emergency service or repair. Polarized housing only mate on way to prevent reverse polarity. The six-position, user-selective key helps prevent unintentional mating of similar connectors.

Pricing for the connectors starts at $25 each.
