Energy supply system designed for low-stress and flat cable packages
igus, the Germany-based manufacturer of motion plastics and moving cable management systems, has introduced snapchain 2.0, a specially designed system for low-stress and flat cable packages. The cable management system consists of just one side link, to which cables can be fixed with cable tie wraps. It is made entirely of recyclate, so it is […]
Metrology-grade mmWave VNA test cable assemblies for calibration use
Junkosha have chosen the 2023 International Microwave Symposium (IMS), held between June 11 and 16, to launch two new (26.5 GHz and 50 GHz) metrology grade Microwave/mmWave VNA test cable assemblies for applications including calibration tests. Alongside the new cable assemblies, Junkosha will also be highlighting its unrivalled three week lead times. Accuracy is crucial […]
Avoid frequency loss in communication systems with SMA cable assemblies
Amphenol RF is pleased to announce the expansion of its2 pre-configured cable assembly portfolio with SMA assemblies on low loss LMR-100A cable, manufactured by its sister division, Amphenol Times Microwave. The full Amphenol solution uses the popular SMA connector interface which features a threaded coupling mechanism for secure and reliable connection which complements the low-loss […]
Secure ultra-miniature cable assemblies in high-vibration industrial applications
Amphenol RF is pleased to introduce SMA and TNC to MHF I LK locking cable assemblies on ultra-flexible 1.13 mm micro-coax cable. These pre-configured assemblies offer excellent vibration resistance for applications that may experience continuous shock and movement. The MHF I LK connector uses a mechanical locking feature which increases the plug retention force ensuring […]
What is unshielded twisted pair cable and where is it used?
Contributed by Frances Richards Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is a widely used data communication cable consisting of anywhere from two to 1800 unshielded twisted pairs of 100-ohm copper encased in an outer plastic jacket. This type of cable has no metallic shield, which keeps the diameter streamlined but offers minimal protection against electrical interference. […]
Cable assemblies keep signals connected through constant shock and vibration
Molex has extended its cable-assembly product line with the addition of innovative solutions from I-PEX, a leader in the field of high-frequency and high-speed transmission connectors. Together, the organizations offer I-PEX MHF 4L LK and MHF I LK cable assemblies, which are available in multiple configurations using standard MHF receptacles and Molex RF connector interfaces. […]
Semi-rigid cable assemblies and connector line includes custom lengths
Fairview Microwave, an Infinite Electronics brand, has expanded its offering of semi-rigid cable assemblies and connectors designed to negate the need for any custom tooling or jigs in the production process. This new series of semi-rigid cable assemblies features superior shielding compared to their flexible counterparts. Their solid outer conductor semi-rigid coax design guarantees their […]
TNC designs to micro-coax offer flexible and secure suit small applications
Amphenol RF is pleased to expand its TNC product offerings with additional front mount bulkhead jacks designed to accommodate flexible ultraminiature coax cable types.
