Adpt-X3-EXT

Overview
The X3 Cycle Extender is a disposable adapter designed for use with KonteX X3 headstages. It serves as a protective intermediary between the headstage and connected accessories, reducing mechanical wear on the headstage connector caused by frequent mating and unmating cycles. By absorbing connector wear, the Cycle Extender helps prolong the operational lifespan of X3 headstages.
