Modular Connectors - Adapters
Modular adapters are components used to connect electrical cables, devices, and systems. They are primarily used to provide a secure, user-friendly connection between two components that are not necessarily the same type. Some of the most common applications for modular adapters are telecommunications, audio/visual, computer connectivity, and military and aerospace industries.
17-10011 Application Field and Working Principle
The 17-10011 modular adapter is designed to be used in industrial, medical, military, and telecommunications applications. It is a hybrid device that combines a male and female connector for increased flexibility and efficiency. The 17-10011 can be used to connect two different interface types, such as USB and RJ45, or two different types of device, such as a laptop and a printer.
