Bluetooth USB adapter rated to IP68

14 April 2010 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Bluetooth wireless connectivity is the latest addition to Bulgin’s USB Buccaneer waterproof connector family.

Bluetooth Buccaneer is a robust USB to Bluetooth adapter designed to overcome common limitations with hardwired USB connections, such as the 5 metre distance restriction and signal isolation problems.

In wireless applications, the antenna must be mounted in an external position for optimum range, but often the antenna is lacking in robustness or can defeat the integrity level of the enclosure. Bluetooth Buccaneer’s IP68 rated dust and waterproof connector is designed to withstand the rigorous demands of harsh or industrial environments, and the Bluetooth electronics with built-in antenna are housed in the over-moulded UL94V-0 body.

Operating at 2,4 GHz in the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band, the Class 1 adapter – the PX0880/1 – can support a working range up to 100 m depending on site conditions. The lower power Class 2 adapter – PX0880/2 – has a range up to 25 m. The mating panel mount connector – PX0842/A – has a standard USB type A connection, allowing the Bluetooth adapter module to be temporarily removed while standard USB cables or USB memory sticks are utilised.

Utility software and drivers can be freely downloaded from Bulgin’s website, although the most popular plug and play operating systems will automatically recognise the adapter.
