BIRNS Millennium Series Connectors
BIRNS Millennium Interconnect Brochure
BIRNS Millennium™ miniature, high-density metal shell underwater connectors set the benchmark for elevated bandwidth delivery—they are the most advanced connectors of their type, and are meticulously qualified and tested. Created for rigorous use, the BIRNS Millennium series provides versatile, high performance solutions, delivering maximum data and power for extreme depth applications. Tailored for demanding power or challenging signal applications and electromechanical applications (to 3 tons), the series is rated to 500V, and can be configured for high voltage. Hybrid electro-optical options can include both high voltage (≤ 3.6kV) and low voltage (≤600V) conductors, and all non-coax configurations can be rated to withstand high open face pressure to 6,000m.
Ethernet Data Rates of 9+Gbits/Sec
BIRNS Millennium cable assemblies made with exclusive 52A-278 cable constructed for Cat 8.2 use are the only ones in the industry capable of ultra-fast Ethernet data rates. Several sizes and pin configurations are available with data transfer rates of up to 9.4+/- 0.1 Gigabits per second at 6km equivalent depth: 3G-10 (Ethernet), 3M-13, 3M-16 and 3O-17 (Ethernet and Power).

Open Face Rated Coax
BIRNS’ 1C coax contacts have a maximum insertion loss of 0.7 dB at signal frequencies to 3GHz, with an associated maximum SWR of 1.7:1 and withstand open face hydrostatic pressure to depths of 1433m. This new design provides incredible ease of assembly and connects directly to a standard MIL-STD-348 SMA connector. Available open face rated coax pin configurations: 3P-2C6 and 3P-1C.
