Amphenol military connectors, RPT45E-20-16S (005) 0822
This item was acquired at a salvage freight sale recently, and we do not know much else about them. The only thing I could find about these with a Google search of "RPT45E" was some inference to the (Network General) NetScout NetSniffer Reporter (some kind of network monitoring system). Thus, they may be a type of connector for a portable network analyzer. That information, however, may only be worth what you have paid for it - and possibly less.
These are brand new in plastic Ziploc bags, and we have checked each one individually to be certain they all have all the same parts, seals, etc. The high-impact plastic enclosure backshell looks and feels like the old Remington Rhynite rifle stocks. The backshell simply has "Amphenol" on both sides but no sign of a part number. The Amphenol 20-16S aluminum center terminal assemblies alone sell for around $50 apiece online, and that does not including the moulded plastic shell with all the little o-rings and seals. I'll bet these sets would cost $100 each if you bought them from an Amphenol dealer. Somebody with a knowledge of Amphenol military / aerospace products or NetScout equipment will get a deal on these!
