The Abaco Systems / Condor Engineering CONP1553-1 is a cable assembly designed to connect MIL-STD-1553 interface boards to bus infrastructure. It supports both MIL-STD-1553A and 1553B protocols and enables reliable data transmission and signal integrity across testing, simulation, and embedded system platforms.

Technical Specifications

• Protocol Support: MIL-STD-1553A/B
• Input Connector: DB15 male (from Abaco interface boards)
• Output Connectors: Two male CJ70 Twinax, 3-lug, 1553 cable jacks and two male BNC cable jacks for I/O triggers
• Cable Length: 8 inches standard (CJ70 Twinax and BNC legs); 18 inch variants available for commercial applications
• Coupling: Direct and transformer coupling supported

– Key Features

• Single DB15 source transitions to dual CJ70 Twinax terminations plus dual BNC trigger lines
• Designed for MIL-STD-1553 bus applications requiring multi-channel connectivity
• Compatible with PCI, ISA, VME, and VXI form factor interface modules

– Platform Compatibility

The CONP1553-1 integrates with Abaco Systems / Condor Engineering MIL-STD-1553 interface boards including:

• PCI-1553, ISA-1553, VME-1553
• QVME-1553, QVXI-1553X, MS1553VMX
• IP-1553 series modules

– Typical Applications

• Embedded avionics and defense systems
• Laboratory and bench test environments
• Real-time simulation platforms
• MIL-STD-1553 bus monitoring and validation

Note: The CONP1553-1 entered Restricted Production Phase (RPP) as of January 1, 2019. Associated legacy PCI-1553 products are marked “FOR LEGACY DESIGNS ONLY.” New designs should evaluate current Abaco Systems platforms.
