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.
