Abaco Systems / Condor Engineering CONCEI-520 Transition Cable

The Abaco Systems / Condor Engineering CONCEI-520 is a transition cable designed to connect various systems, particularly those utilizing ARINC protocols. This cable is associated with the CEI-520/520A ARINC Interface for PCI cards, enabling communication and data transfer within avionics systems. The CEI-520/520A itself is capable of supporting high data throughput, offering features such as on-board message scheduling, label filtering, multiple buffering options, time-tagging, and error injection/detection. It also provides avionics-level I/O discretes. Optional configurations include programmable receive level thresholds, adjustable transmit output voltages, and ruggedized versions for extended operating temperatures. The CONCEI-520 transition cable facilitates the connection from the CEI-520/520A’s rear Discrete I/O connector, which may utilize a CONM50-D37 or other IDC-50 ribbon connector, to a SCSI-3 connector.

### Technical Specifications

**General**
* Manufacturer: Abaco Systems / Condor Engineering
* Model: CONCEI-520
* Product Family: CEI520 / CEI520A

**Interfaces and Protocols**
* Primary Protocol Support: ARINC 429
* Additional Supported Protocols: ARINC 419, 561, 571, 573, 575, 582, 717, and CSDB
* Channel Capacity (for associated CEI-520/520A): Up to 16 Rx and 16 Tx ARINC 429 Channels
* Connector Transition: From the CEI-520/520A card end (P2) connector, which may use a CONM50-D37 or IDC-50 ribbon connector, to a SCSI-3 connector.
* Specific Cable Designation: RCONSCSI3-6 (72″ cable with twisted pairs) transitions from the card front panel I/O connector to a SCSI-3 connector.

**Electrical**
* Power Requirements (for associated CEI-520/520A): 5V, +12V, and -12V mandated by the PCI specification. 3.3V is also required and is often generated on-card by the CEI-520/520A due to some PCs not providing it to the PCI slot.

**Physical**
* Cable Length: The RCONSCSI3-6 cable is 72 inches long.
* Connector Types: Transitions to a SCSI-3 connector. One end of the cable is non-connectorized.

**Environmental and Ruggedization**
* Ruggedization Options: The associated CEI-520/520A interface cards can be configured with ruggedized options for extended operating temperatures. Specific ruggedization levels for the CEI-520/520A boards include:
* Level 1 Standard (Air-cooled): 0 to +55°C operating temperature.
* Level 2 Extended Temperature (Air-cooled): -20 to +65°C operating temperature.
* Level 3 Rugged (Air-cooled): -40 to +75°C operating temperature.
* Level 5 Rugged (Conduction-cooled): -40 to +85°C at the thermal interface.
* Storage Temperature: -50 to +100°C across all ruggedization levels.
* Vibration: Varies by ruggedization level, e.g., 0.002g²/Hz from 10 to 2000Hz random for Level 1.
* Shock: 20g peak sawtooth, 11mS duration (standard across levels), with a 40g option for Level 5.
* Humidity: Up to 95% RH.

**Compatibility**
* Associated Interface Card: CEI-520 / CEI-520A ARINC Interface for PCI
* Other Compatible Devices (for RCONSCSI3-6 cable): RAR-USB, RAR-XMC, RAR-PCIE, RCEI-530, RCEI-830A, R830RX, MAC2-VXI, RMAC-VME, P-DIS, or P-SER.
