Connectors are supporting a dynamic era of technological advancements that center on the need to see, measure, store, process, and transmit ever-increasing amounts of data. IoT and machine learning systems combine, compare, and respond to multiple streams of information simultaneously. The latest sensors collect a wide range of information that was undetectable a few years ago and connect high-speed, low-voltage digital signals to central logic processing centers.
To meet the multiple signal demands of these new networks, hybridized connectors and matching cables combine power and multiple signal types. Starting with experience and test standards for performance and reliability, miniaturized cable and connector designs are customized for the form, fit, and functions needed for each network. Some of the conduit systems must provide power to multiple sensors and collect information from various detection methods including mechanical, analog, digital, and RF.
Omnetics offers variety of hybrid miniature connectors carrying signal+power+RF in one single solution.
