MAX629

Bus Connect

Flexible solution

Rack mount or Table top

Replaces ARINC 629 couplers (CMC)

The MAX629 Bus Connect panel is a 19 inch rack mount or table top device to connect together ARINC 629 Line Replacement Units (LRUs) without the need for ARINC 629 couplers.

This is the ideal solution for tests & simulation benches.

How does it works? Multiple LRUs are on the same bus when they are connected to the MAX629 Bus Connect front panel. There is no need to use couplers. Bus terminaisons are also built in. It is that easy!
