The company reiterates its ability to modify standard industry connector designs to meet specific requirements via a military customer in need of special help. A panel, designed around a third-party SMB connector, presented a variety of problems out in the field. The SMB connectors would easily disengage with minimal axial force, so the company designed a custom locking mechanism for the plug that works on standard SMB jacks. Other modifications include adding internal o-rings to achieve an IP67 rating and creating a reverse polarity version of the connector with a visually distinguishable coupling mechanism.
