What is an Ultrasound Cable Assembly?

An ultrasound cable is a multi-conductor micro-coaxial cable assembly that links an ultrasound transducer or probe to the imaging system. It carries dozens to hundreds of individually shielded signal channels between the transducer array and the console. These assemblies are typically custom-built per probe and imaging-system platform, with channel count, conductor gauge, and connectors specifiedRead More

What is a Power Cable?

Power cables are used in the transmission of electrical energy to, for example, run a motor, light a bulb, or charge a battery. In the power industry, power cables are categorized as high-tension (designed for higher voltages to carry bulk electrical power to substations), or low-tension cables (low voltage for final local distribution of electricityRead More

What is a Cable Tie?

A cable tie (also called zip tie, wire tie, or tie-wrap) is a simple engineered fastener commonly used in electronics. It consists of a strap with a row of teeth (a ratchet) on one face and a small housing at one end. When the tail is threaded through the housing, or head, and pulled snug,Read More

What is a Speed Sensor?

A speed sensor is an interconnect device that detects the rotational or linear velocity of a moving component and converts that motion into an electrical signal with a frequency or pulse rate that is proportional to speed. The two dominant speed sensor types are variable reluctance (VR) sensors, which generate a self-powered analog signal asRead More
