MIL-STD-1553 Data Bus Products

MIL-STD-1553 is the standard for data communication over shielded twisted pair cabling on board military platforms. The medium is typically a shielded twisted pair cable with a characteristic impedance of 77/78 Ohms and is configured as a bus structure. Each terminal is interfaced to the data bus via couplers, which provide impedance matching, fault isolation and proper connector termination. The applications for MIL-STD-1553 range from armored vehicles to jet and prop aircraft, satellite systems and launch vehicles. North Hills offers a full line of connectivity products and testers for MIL-STD-1553 applications.
