The Si-Fly cable assembly from Samtec lets you mount connectors to a board while going under cooling components. High-speed digital ICs such as microprocessors, GPUs, ASICs, and electrical-to-optical converters need clean signals, and they generate lots of heat. To minimize the PCB traces where signals travel, engineers need to mount cables as close to the […]

Cable assemblies connect 2.92 mm to SMP
Amphenol RF introduces additional pre-configured 2.92 mm cable assembly configurations which feature a 2.92 mm connector and the option of an SMP or SMPM connector attached on the opposing end. They are available in pre-configured lengths of 6 (0.15M), 9.84 (0.25M), and 12 (0.3M) inches on 0.085-inch conformable cable. Offering ease of installation, conformable cables […]
Flexible cables perform to 43.5 GHz
Cables available in three standard lengths with SMA, 2.92 mm, and 2.4 mm end connectors. Samtec’s LL043 Series Nitrowave microwave cable assemblies have performance is optimized from DC to 43.5 GHz with a maximum VSWR of 1.4:1. The 43.5 GHz bandwidth lets the cables operate at 5G mmWave frequencies as well as those used in […]
Flange components enhance cable connector capabilities
binder has introduced flange components for its PBC15 cable connector system, designed for industrial applications requiring compact and robust connectors capable of transmitting high currents and voltages. The PBC15 connector system is suitable for transmitting power and signals via cable, with shielding options available for applications demanding high signal integrity or electromagnetic transmission. The system […]
M12 connector line expanded to include D-coded options
CUI Devices’ Interconnect Group has announced the addition of M12 connector types with D coding to its line of circular connectors and circular cable assemblies. The CDM12 family includes a variety of male or female jack or plug versions with 4-pin contact position options. These M12 D-coded connectors and cables have IP67 ratings, making them suitable for harsh […]
How twin axial cable assemblies support high-performance computing for AI/ML systems
The high-performance computing platforms used for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in hyperscale data centers need high-speed interconnects like 112 Gbps PAM 4 and faster inside the servers. High-speed interconnects are also required between the servers and storage devices. Twin axial (Twinax) cable assemblies are one way to address those needs. This article […]
Circular connector range now include M5 types for industrial and automation applications
CUI Devices’ Interconnect Group announced the addition of M5 connector types to its line of circular connectors and circular cable assemblies. The CDM5 family offers a range of male or female jack or plug versions with contact position options of 3 or 4 pins. These M5 connectors and cables are all A-coded to support 1 Gbit […]
Connector family handles 224 Gb/sec digital signals
A set of five connectors that connect board-to-board, board-to-backplane, and board-to-cable connections address signal-integrity issues not present at lower data rates. Every time digital data streams make a speed jump, new problems in physics emerge that did not exist at lower speeds. Now that 224 Gb/sec PAM4 links are in development, engineers must deal with […]
Cable assembly line expanded to include multiple configurations
Molex has extended its cable-assembly product line with the addition of innovative solutions from I-PEX. 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. The MHF I Series of micro-RF coaxial connector systems takes advantage […]
