New prototyping tools and processes make custom solutions more accessible and affordable. When an off-the-shelf solution won’t do, a custom connector can be created. Advanced design software and manufacturing tools such as CNC and 3D printing enable suppliers to very quickly create sophisticated prototypes of custom connectors. A few years ago, this would have beenRead More
As more applications involve high-temperature systems, resin manufacturers are formulating more common resins like TPU to survive in higher temperatures. By iCONN Systems Many transportation, marine, medical, and other outdoors applications require equipment rated for sustained performance at elevated temperatures. For transportation applications, heat is generated within the operations of the vehicle, including combustion, engine,Read More
Meet the Cable: Coaxial Cables Their design was first used in 1858 and patented by mathematician Oliver Heaviside in 1880, yet these reliable and cost-effective cables are still widely used to transmit data, video, and voice communication. Today, they are even used for power in certain applications. Coaxial or coax cable is used to transmitRead More
Meet the Cable: Subsea Cables Subsea cables (also called submarine cables) are specialized, highly ruggedized fiber optic cables that cross the seabed between land-based stations to carry telecommunications signals. They are the backbone of global internet and data communications and transmit data such as internet traffic, telephone calls, and private data. Subsea optical cables carryRead More
