Figure 2 : XRM-IO146-ROCKET The XRM-IO146 provides 146 I/O signals on a front panel MICTOR connector with a wide range of options to support GPIO requirements. Signals are driven / received by the FPGA for total user programmability and can be used single ended (i.e.

5 Positive Locking / Cable Clamp Assembly The XRM-IO146 uses a MICTOR connector with a minimum retention force of 4.75lbs. For applications requiring positive locking on this connector or further strain relief, an optional locking assembly is available. This clamp interfaces with the housing on the cable assembly to lock it in place, and also provides strain relief to the cable itself by clamping it with protective material.
