Fischer Connectors introduces a new NATO STANAG 4695-compatible connector for use in harsh operating environments.
The global connectivity solution provider Fischer Connectors has extended its portfolio of ultra-ruggedised and harsh-environment connectors with two new products.
Fischer UltiMate 80 is a ‘field-ready NATO STANAG 4695-compatible connector offering unparalleled functionality and ruggedness in comparison with similar harsh-environment quick-release connectors’, the company announced on 15 April.
