Nexus Exhibits Portable Memory Products At Medtec

Nexus, the exclusive UK distributor of Datakey Electronics' range of portable memory products, will be exhibiting at the Medtec exhibition and conference at the NEC on 27-28 April. The company will show its entire range of tokens and receptacles. In the medical-device design industry, these products find applications ranging from anti-counterfeit measures and product authentication to calibration and limit use.

Central to its stand will be its range of IP67-immersion-rated and EMI reduction receptacles. The product works with the company's memory tokens, designed to satisfy OEMs' harsh-environment data needs. The range has several uses in medical applications, where it is suitable for devices that will be autoclaved, sterilised or washed down when in use. The series, designated the SR4310, is also available in IP-65 (splash-proof) and IP-67-EMI (immersion-rated with Electromagnetic Frequency reduction) versions.

Also on show will be Nexus' range of serial development kits, which provide all the necessary tools to build a simulated portable data system and test its features and benefits. The basic development kit covers the majority of Nexus' range, while a specialist kit covers its managed memory tokens - which are said to act as USB-style portable data-carrier devices without the drawbacks of a consumer-style memory product.
