Differential Pair Family Adds More Members

Recent additions to the Triad Differential Pair (TDP) cable assemblies are said to save board space while providing bandwidths beyond 5 Gb/s. The cable assemblies are available in sizes of 18, 28, 38, 48 and 72 circuits and have two optional jackscrews (4/40 and M3) that provide mating retention. They are offered in multiple differential pair configurations up to 24 pairs and in standard lengths of 1m and 3m, as well as custom lengths up to 5m. Target applications include displays, routers, storage devices, switches, portable DVI devices, and HDTVs. Single-unit pricing for an 18-circuit, one-meter cable is $14.50 with a typical lead time of approximately six weeks. MOLEX INC., Lisle, IL. (630) 969-4550.
