ix Industrial connector is 70% smaller for PROFINET use
The new PNO guideline Profinet Cabling and Interconnection Technology – Guideline for PROFINET Version 5.0 specifies the ix Industrial mating face as a new standard for Ethernet applications. The guideline was officially published on June 29, and provides PROFINET users with a reliable set of rules for industrial cabling. With the ix Industrial, PROFINET users […]
Standardization or individualized in connector designs
Contributed by Jakob Dück, Global Industry Segment Manager at HARTING Electric One of the most significant challenges in today’s manufacturing technology is the question: How do I serve the “very special and unusual” wishes of end consumers? As things stand today, this would appear to apply only to the end consumer worlds. But the […]
How cable technology is evolving to meet high-performance networking
Persistent memory has become one key technology for the cloud as speed, efficiency, and volume at data centers advance. In high-performance computing, the cloud often requires data to be moved between multiple physical systems. Data may also be replicated for redundancy and protection, or it can be split across physical systems for performance. High-performance networking […]
Considerations for new datacenter, inside-the-box, twinaxial IO cables
New 50G, 100G, and 200G per lane internal copper twinaxial cable assembly solutions solve emerging DC/Cloud inside-the-box interconnect problems and new technology changes. Internal cable applications and high volume usages have also rapidly increased. For each new speed rate internal cable assembly product, design teams must closely review the detailed specifications for components, processes, and […]
