Amphenol RF expands its portfolio of extreme exposure solutions with the addition of new N-Type cable mount connector configurations. These N-Type plugs are now available for LMR 195, 200, and 600 cable types, providing more design flexibility for harsh environment applications. Extreme exposure RF interconnects are engineered with a unique, chromium-free tin-nickel alloy plating that […]
SMP3 vs. SMPS: why two standards?
The SPM3 and SMPS RF coax connectors are similar but slightly different. They are not entirely interchangeable, so we have two standards. If you research SMP3 and SMPS RF coax connectors, you might conclude that they are the same, completely interoperable, and interchangeable. They are indeed quite similar, with comparable performance specs and dimensions. Both […]
Intelligent interconnect optimizes AI data transmission with DSP-free design
TeraSignal introduced TSLink, the world’s first intelligent chip-to-module (C2M) interconnect designed to revolutionize data transmission between large ASICs and linear optical modules. Leveraging existing microcontroller resources in optical modules, the TSLink solution automates link training and performance monitoring without the need for additional digital signal processors (DSPs). TSLink dramatically reduces power consumption and latency while simplifying […]
Angled RF connectors fit where straight connectors can’t
Fairview Microwave has announced the launch of its RF angled PCB connectors, engineered to meet the sophisticated needs of modern RF applications. They are offered in 1.85 mm, 2.4 mm, and 2.92 mm sizes. The connectors feature interfaces for frequencies ranging from DC to 67 GHz and cater to a diverse range of military defense […]
