Products & Services Related to Computer Cables

Cable Assemblies

Cable assemblies are collections of wires or cables banded into a single unit with connectors on at least one end.

Coaxial Cables and Triaxial Cables

Coaxial cables have one conductor insulated with a dielectric material and then surrounded by the other conductor, usually referred to as the center conductor and shield. Triaxial cables are specialized coaxial cables.

Flat Cables

Flat cables are typically used in computers for internal connections to peripherals. They are also referred to as ribbon cables.

Industrial Network Cables

Industrial network cables are used in industrial applications such as automation, control and data acquisition.

Multiconductor Cables

Multiconductor cables contain two or more conductors, each of which consists of a single wire or combination of wires. Cable shielding is placed around an insulated conductor or group of conductors to prevent electrostatic or electromagnetic interference between the enclosed wires and external fields.

Serial Cable Assemblies

Serial cable assemblies are used for the serial transmission of data. They support communication standards such as RS232, RS422, and RS485, as well as Fibre Channel, FireWire or IEEE 1394, USB 1.1, and USB 2.0.

Video Cable Assemblies

Video cable assemblies are used for the transmission of video signals, including monochrome, composite and component color video signals.
