Given the application (space) it's possible it's entirely custom, but I could swear I've seen it somewhere else before is why I asked.

I can't find a price for the shell, but each quadrax connector that fits inside it seems to go for about $100 in low quantities, which seems about right for aerospace!

Found a price for the equivalent connector from another company (slightly different design but still 4x quadrax connectors in a vaguely D-ish shell), CAD$1850 each in qty 25.

@sen@hachyderm.io looks like something you'd find on older optical test equipment? What's the device you've found this on?

@sen@hachyderm.io Could be something like the ODU-MAC system. At least the 4pin connector parts look like something ODU or Fischer would build

@sen@hachyderm.io I think ODN is Optical Distribution Network in this context and it *kind* of looks like a splitter port but looks curiously not-optical?

@sen@hachyderm.io I remember having seen them on some website recently. However, then I was looking for expanded beam fiber connectors. Maybe use that as a starting point for looking?

@sen@hachyderm.io Pretty sure this is them: https://www.smithsinterconnect.com/products/connectors/rectangular-connectors/fibre-channel-d-sub/
