Showing at the 2008 NAB Show:

ProBlox BTX Technologies will be showing its new ProBlox system for the first time at the 2008 NAB Show. As a cost-effective solution to bundling numerous signals, the ProBlox system combines 16 coax and 26 audio/data/control contacts in one multi-connector. This allows fast and simple set-up and tear-down in broadcast and A/V applications, such as remote broadcasting, rental and rack staging, corporate settings, podiums, and more.

The field-terminatable system is custom configurable for numerous combinations of VGA, component, composite, balanced, and unbalanced audio, data, and control signals. Built of rugged and durable components, and offering 75-ohm video contacts for a true HD signal, the ProBlox system reduces the number of individual cables for less clutter and a clean finished look.

The ProBlox system will be available in June 2008.

MaxBlox DB9
BTX Technologies 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 CD-MX915HH
When mounting a D-sub connector to a device, plate, or panel, the only way to achieve proper strain relief is to use a full-size hood or to tie off the wire to a rack rail using a cable tie. However, the width of the hood usually does not allow installers to mount the connectors side by side, and the depth of the hood is sometimes too long to fit behind a wall when mounted to a plate.

To solve this problem, BTX introduced the MaxBlox CD-MX915HH half-hood, which acts as a full-size hood but within a much smaller footprint. The CD-MX915HH is the exact same width as the MaxBlox D-sub connector, making it ideal for any high-density application where numerous MaxBlox D-subs need to be mounted side by side. In addition, a small, slotted tray extends out the back of the CD-MX915HH, providing the perfect place to secure the wire with a standard cable tie for the ultimate strain relief. The CD-MX915HH works exclusively with our patent-pending MaxBlox D-sub connectors.

MaxBlox CD-MX15
The MaxBlox™ CD-MX15M (male) and CD-MX15F (female) by BTX Technologies are professional cable and panel mount high density 15 pin (HD15) VGA connectors.

Ideal for A/V applications, the CD-MX15M and CD-MX15F connectors offer a shorter length and height than any similar product on the market and are manufactured with Phoenix Contact® terminal blocks, the industry standard for reliability. The connectors accommodate a wide range of wire diameters, from .120 inch to .500 inch, and can be panel mounted as stand-alone connectors or cable mounted when used with the included CD-MX159H clamshell hood.
