Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Connector Manager

Definition

The Connector Manager is a core software component of the Ingestion Engine responsible for establishing, maintaining, and managing connections to various external data sources. It handles authentication, protocol negotiation, connection pooling, and lifecycle management for data connectors, ensuring reliable and efficient data flow into the ingestion pipeline. The component operates by loading specific connector plugins or drivers configured for target data sources such as databases, APIs, and message queues. It initializes connections based on provided credentials and endpoint configurations, manages connection states (idle, active, error), implements retry logic for failed connections, and provides a unified interface for the Ingestion Engine to request data streams without handling low-level communication details. The Connector Manager is designed for industrial environments, with parameters including a maximum of 100–1000 concurrent connections, data throughput of 10–100 Mbps per connection, and end-to-end latency of 5–50 ms. It supports 5–20 communication protocols. Environmental specifications include an operating temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (IEC 60068-2-1), storage temperature of -40 to 85 °C (IEC 60068-2-2), relative humidity of 10–95% non-condensing (IEC 60068-2-78), and ingress protection ratings of IP54–IP65 (IEC 60529). Electrical characteristics include a supply voltage of 9–36 V DC and power consumption of 5–15 W. Reliability is indicated by an MTBF of 50,000–100,000 hours (IEC 61709). The physical form factor is compact, with dimensions of 100×50×30 mm (W×D×H) and a weight of 200–500 g, suitable for DIN rail mounting. These values are reference ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application with the legal manufacturer or supplier. The Connector Manager is a software component, and its material on file is software code. It is not a standalone hardware device but a part of the Ingestion Engine.

Working Principle

The Connector Manager operates by loading specific connector plugins or drivers configured for target data sources (e.g., databases, APIs, message queues). It initializes connections based on provided credentials and endpoint configurations, manages connection states (idle, active, error), implements retry logic for failed connections, and provides a unified interface for the Ingestion Engine to request data streams without handling low-level communication details. It also handles authentication and protocol negotiation, and manages connection pooling to optimize resource usage. The component ensures reliable data flow by monitoring connection health and automatically re-establishing connections when needed.

Buyer enquiry

Request manufacturing insight for Connector Manager

Ask for use case, specification boundaries, supplier type, and RFQ preparation information for this product.

Where it goes: Straight to the CNFX editorial desk, and to the manufacturer if this product is linked to a claimed profile. Nothing is broadcast to a supplier list.
Your details stay here: We do not sell or rent enquiry data, and we do not add you to a mailing list. Used only to answer this request.
No commission, no middleman: CNFX is a directory. We take no cut of any order and never negotiate on a supplier's behalf.
What we don't claim: A listing is not an endorsement. Qualify every supplier and verify every figure yourself before ordering.
