senAnyone know offhand what type this connector is? I'm sure I've seen this type of thing somewhere before but can't figure out what it is.
Update: found! https://hachyderm.io/@RealGene/116358761857241642
Graham Sutherland / Polynomial@sen looks aerospace? no idea though, some sort of multi-DIN thing
gaytabase@gsuberland the mistake connector
F4GRX Sébastien@dysfun @gsuberland they have many LEMO at least, some of them visible on the livestream.
@gsuberland It is aerospace yeah, I should have specified that! It looks almost like some cores of M8s in a rectangular shell.

There are quadaxial connectors (like from Fakra) and there are quadruple-Connectors, but a quadruple-quadaxial never crossed my way.

@adorfer @gsuberland @sen whats the rationale behind quadrax I really wonder what sense it makes from a signal integrity perspective.
Triax, shielded diffpair, coax, ok. But quadrax???
@f4grx @adorfer @gsuberland it looks like they’re not what you might think when you hear “quadrax”, rather a lighter alternative to twisted pair with four wires inside a shield. https://www.gore.com/products/quad-cables-aerospace-defense-air-land I suspect this connector has two redundant gigabit Ethernet paths on it, since the vehicle it’s on is TTEthernet-based.

GORE® Quad Cables offer tighter skew requirements with low crosstalk and controlled impedance ideal for high-speed serial data and video protocols. Lighter and more rugged, these quadrax cables feature dual differential pairs that routinely transfer bi-directional signals at speeds up to 1 GHz at lengths up to 30 meters (100 feet).
Marcus Müller@gsuberland @sen hey, the one thing you can't accuse DIN connectors of is being rotationally invariant in their contact arrangement! (this might seriously be a group of mini IEC connectors or something)
webhat@gsuberland @sen in my imagination they are on the Artemis II 😂
@webhat @gsuberland If you mean "they" being the connector, that is true. If you mean _I_ am onboard, you are, sadly, incorrect :)
@sen @gsuberland asking for a friend 😂🤣
