RoProxCon® - Contactless Data and Power Transmission
RoProxCon® stands for contactless data and power transmission. The handling is largely based on the classic connector and can be integrated into the applications like one - but on the basis of radio transmission.
Rosenberger offers a wide range of solutions tailored to customer requirements:
- RoProxCon® System-on-Module (SoM)
- RoProxCon® Hybrid
- RoProxCon® Data
Benefits
- Freedom of movement due to mechanical decoupling
- Tolerance of angular deviations
- Extremely robust, low maintenance, no wear and tear
- Unlimited mating cycles
- Protocol independence
- Transmission through a wide variety of materials
RoProxCon® System-on-Module (SoM)
The System-on-Module (SoM) from Rosenberger is a preconfigured transmission module. This stand-alone product is used for direct PCB mounting on the customer's electronics. Rosenberger supports the integration in the respective customer application. Ethernet-based transmissions can be easily implemented using suitable adaptor circuits. In addition, proprietary IO signals or fieldbuses can be utilized. A Design-in Service for the System-on-Module can be offered as well, if required.

Evaluation Board for High-Speed Data Transmission
Maximum flexibility and performance for accelerated development projects.
Specially designed for contactless high-speed data transmission, this Evaluation Board serves as a powerful platform for rapid prototyping, evaluation and integration into applications.
Thanks to its versatile interface - RJ45 (Ethernet) and SMA connections - both standardized and customer-specific protocols can be tested. Configuration is simple using a PCB jumper.
Main Benefits
- Easy integration - designed for seamless connection to existing systems
- Two interfaces for maximum flexibility - Ethernet (RJ45) and SMA connections for customized testing
- Standardized power supply - USB-C port and additional power connector
- RF switch for precise signal control - separates Ethernet and SMA signal paths for reliable protocol analysis
Application Areas
- Development and optimization of wireless high-speed systems
- Integration into existing development environments
- Evaluation of customer-specific protocols
- Performance tests
Simple Setup and Use
The Evaluation Board is powered via an USB-C port or an additional power connector. After swiching on, LEDs indicate operating status upon startup. Testing can be performed using analysis tools such as iPerf.
RoProxCon® Samples Available!
In addition to the Evaluation Board, we offer samples from the RoProxCon® series - ideal for developers looking to explore and implement latest technology.
