Where are Active Optical Cables used?

October 9, 2018 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Cosemi LS Series Active Optical Cables 300-dpi

AOCs are typically used in production line applications, where high-resolution images are used for quality control, or to extend the control and video signals of a machine or computer that may be 50-200 ft away. For example, by using AOCs, clean room manufacturing can now be controlled several hundreds of feet away in a main […]

Shielding and filtering are not independent of one another

August 23, 2018 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

EMC093 Electrical installation shielding and filtering

By Keith Armstrong, C.Eng(UK), FIEE/IET, Senior MIEEE, ACGI, EurIng(Gp1) on behalf of EMC Standards Filtering and shielding have to be designed together, as a system. They simply cannot provide their shielding or filtering independently of each other. I have lost count of the number of times I have been asked to fix an EMC problem, only […]

How do canted coil springs provide EMI/RFI shielding?

August 19, 2018 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Bal-Seal-spring-shields-cable-for-EMIRFI-shielding

Canted coil springs shield sensitive electronics from the harmful effects of EMI/RFI. Featuring independent coils that serve as multiple contact points for optimal conductivity and/or grounding, these springs ensure consistent, reliable connection with mating surfaces, even under shock and vibration. These springs feature precisely engineered coil angles. Canted coil springs are ideal for use in […]

What are flat cables?

January 19, 2018 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Flat cables allow for compact designs of electrical conductors and tubing, encasing power, signal, video, data and even pneumatic tubing in one flat profile. By eliminating the multiple layers of fillers, shielding and jacketing used in round cables, they offer reduced space and weight and extremely long lives. Because of their smooth, compact design, flat […]
