Can different core numbers be inserted into each other?
Octopuscon 7/8" Core Count Pairing Principle
- Strict Core Matching Rule : Only connectors with the same core count can be mated; mismatched core counts will damage pins and cause electrical failure.
Core Count Pairing Rules & Risk Warnings
Valid Core Count Pairing
Only Same-Core Pairing Allowed
:
• 3-core ↔ 3-core (exclusive pairing)
• 4-core ↔ 4-core (exclusive pairing)
• 5-core ↔ 5-core (exclusive pairing)
• 6-core ↔ 6-core (exclusive pairing)
Mismatched Pairing Risks
Forbidden Mismatched Pairing
:
• Connectors with different core counts cannot be mated
Damage Risks
:
• Forced mating will damage internal pins
• Causes electrical short circuit or permanent connector failure
Technical Note: Verify core count consistency strictly before mating connectors. Never force mismatched core count pairing to avoid equipment damage and safety hazards.
