Information

USB Sticks in a Proprietary Rugged Form Factor Datakey UFX RUGGEDrive™ memory tokens provide USB flash drive functionality, come with a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface and are available in capacities from 4 to 64 GB. They have several advantages over consumer USB flash drives, which make them ideally suited for embedded applications outside of the consumer market: Ultra-Rugged Construction - UFX tokens use solid over-molded construction, making them impervious to liquids and virtually crush-proof. Security Features - The unique form factor of UFX tokens means that they won't plug in to standard ports found on a PC. Further, each token contains a non-changeable, unique serial number that can be used to identify/authenticate the token’s owner. It can also be used to encrypt the onboard data. Finally, unlike many consumer USB flash drives, UFX tokens have a fixed USB Vendor ID and Product ID that can also be used for authentication. Optionally, OEM-specific USB Product ID numbers can also be assigned. High Cycle Life Contacts - Most USB connectors are rated for only 1,500 insertion/removal cycles. At just 10 cycles per day, that connector will only last for 5 months! The contacts on RUGGEDrive™ receptacles are rated for at least 50,000 insertion/removal cycles. At the same rate, the receptacle will still be going strong nearly 14 years later!

Nexus Industrial MemoryNexus specialises in the provision of memory-based products designed especially for those situations where commercial is simply not secure or rugged enough and has no guaranteed long-term availability. We work closely with our manufacturing partners to help engineers embed and/or integrate the most appropriate forms of removable memory, specialist memory ICs, solid-state drives, modules, cards and accessories into their applications. Nexus Industrial Memory supply some of the electronics industry’s most secure embedded memory solutions including Flexxon’s X-PHY solid state drives (SSD); as recently selected by Lenovo to be at the heart of what are expected to be the world’s first ‘all-in-one’ AI cybersecurity laptops. The SSDs are proving popular in embedded systems as security is implemented in the drive’s firmware, which monitors for threats in real-time and locks down the moment a threat is detected. Live online demonstrations that simulate ransomware attacks are available at request, contact one of our cyber experts to arrange a demonstration. Our Flexxon products include industrial NAND Flash storage solutions for the cybersecurity, industrial, medical and automotive (CIMA) sectors, meeting the requirements of customers who demand high levels of reliability, endurance and wide operating temperature ranges. Flexxon products are designed for industrial use and offer low capacity memory not available in consumer products. Nexus offer industrial grade products ideal for host devices that are sensitive to harsh environments with fixed BOMS and firmware. Our Datakey products help engineers designing and building embedded systems to keep their data safer and much more secure. The unique range of portable data carriers have been tested in the harshest environments possible. The unique connectors remove the threats posed by standard USD or SD products making them secure and they’re long lasting. Typical data uses include data logging, calibration, parameter uploads, limit use and secure communications. ATEK’s Datakey CryptoAuthentication memory tokens are ideal for the transfer of passwords, security keys, certificates, sensitive data or system configuration files. The tokens employ Microchip CryptoAuthentication high-security hardware ICs, features of which include a unique and non-changeable 72-bit serial number (set by Microchip), a 512bit one-time programmable zone, a random number generator and a SHA-256 hash algorithm for data encryption. Nexus are an added value distributor known for providing superior levels of support to engineers in instances where a memory solution has needed to be designed into a new product or system from scratch or to upgrade (or rather evolve) their systems and products when legacy memory solutions start failing or become susceptible to cyberattacks.
