Bluetooth wireless connectivity is the latest addition to Bulgin's USB Buccaneer connector family. Bluetooth Buccaneer is a robust USB to Bluetooth adapter designed to overcome common limitations with hard-wired USB connections, such as the 5m distance restriction and signal isolation problems.
In any wireless application 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 robustly housed in the over-moulded UL94V0 body.
Operating at 2.4GHz in the ISM Band, the Class 1 adapter, PX0880/1, can support a working range up to 100m depending on site conditions.

FireWire connectors don industrial guise
FireWire Buccaneer provides a high degree of environmental sealing for FireWire connections using standard IEEE 1394a interfaces with datarates up to 400Mbit/s
The lower power Class 2 adapter, PX0880/2, has a range up to 25m.
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 used.
Comprehensive 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.
Bluetooth Buccaneer will find many applications within industrial control, where water and dust may be present, and a strong, robust and secure wireless connection is needed between computers and peripherals. Request a free brochure from Bulgin Components....
