Axon' Cable is a world leader specialised in custom design interconnect. Headquartered in the beautiful Champagne region of France (100km east of Paris) since 1965 and benefits from more than 50 years of experience, Axon’ Cable is present in 25 countries. Axon products are designed to meet the requirements of high tech markets including aeronautics, automotive, electronics, energy, industry, medical, military, research, space.
Tanks, Radars, drones, air fighters or satellites, the application list for which Axon’ Cable can provide interconnect solutions is extensive with a common goal: the need for miniature and reliable components. High data rate, high temperature, weight and space saving, electromagnetic protection, resistance to severe environments.
Axon’ Cable is developing miniature connectors equipped with a user-friendly latching system, which gives greater flexibility to customers. A new range of Micro-D products equipped with the D-Click fast latching system allows customers to use the Micro-D technology in space-constrained systems where access to the connectors is difficult. The company has also engineered Versatys®, a new concept of compact power connectors. Compared to power D-Sub connectors, this new range of connectors gives rise to substantial space and weight saving. With interchangeable lines (power contacts and wire), users can customize their own connectors. Versatys® connectors can also be equipped with the fast-latching D-Click system. These types of connectors generates real time savings, as no tooling is required for this operation.
Whether for air or land battlefields, Axon’ Cable designs reliable and rugged interconnects. The company is not only manufacture its own conductors and cables but also has a large expertise in cable jacketing and overmoulding. Axon’ expertise in these techniques allows the company to offer very robust cable assemblies including in the connecting area. Overmoulding must perfectly adhere to the cable to offer a reliable mechanical protection to the cable assembly in hostile environment.
In the context of electronic warfare, electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a key issue to be considered for military electronic equipment in the whole interconnect system, which needs to be protected against EMI. Indeed communication and navigation systems can play their role on the battlefield. From cable to connector so as the cable assembly, Axon’ can offer the most appropriate EMC solution.
