The newECF style USB couplersfeature fully shielded and grounded connectors,are USB 3.0 compliant and work with standard cables,with no special plugs required. They are available with USB type A to A,A to B,and B to A connector configurations,can be flange-mounted or panel-mounted using standard screws and are able to ground to a panel if required. Additionally,the connectors used in these new ECF style couplers have a max retention force of 40N to 60N,which is 50% more than a standard friction-fit USB jack.
