BTX Showcases MaxBlox EZ Termination System (10/8/2007)

CEDIA US Expo 2007

MaxBlox DB9

BTX Technologies, previous winner of the CEDIA "Manufacturers' Excellence Award," will be showcasing the MaxBlox CD-MX9M (male) and CD-MX9F (female) DB9 connectors. Building on the technology of BTX's previous solutions, the CD-MX9M and CD-MX9F are new, patent-pending professional 9-pin D-sub connectors that feature an innovative and rugged design, allowing installers to terminate a DB9 with a screwdriver.

The connectors can be panel or cable mounted in a MaxBlox CD-MX915H hood in a fraction of the time it would take to solder, saving both time and money. When used in conjunction with the hood, these connectors simply slide, snap, and lock into the hood without the use of tools.

Optimized for use in any RS-232 or RS-422 applications, the DB9 connectors are manufactured by BTX with genuine Phoenix Contact terminal blocks, the industry standard for reliability. They are also available in HD15 male and female for VGA applications.

MaxBlox CA-MX35

BTX is introducing the newest addition to its MaxBlox family ÷ the world's first solderless 3.5-mm stereo connector that fits in a standard half-inch D-style punch. Ideal for computer audio and designed to save both time and money, the easy to terminate CA-MX35 solderless panel mount connector eliminates soldering with the use of a genuine Phoenix Contact terminal block in place of the solder tabs. This patent-pending connector rear mounts to a plate or panel.

Mini Cat 5e and Cat 6 Couplers

BTX will also be displaying its new low-profile Cat 5e and Cat 6 feed-thru couplers. Designed to connect two category cables together, the CD-9242M (Cat 5e) and CD-9246M (Cat 6) panel or plate mount by snapping into a standard keystone punch, or they can be used as a stand-alone feed-thru coupler. These new "mini-couplers" save space by measuring roughly one inch behind the plate, and are currently in stock and shipping.
