Twisted and shielded cabling for Gecko-SL connectors

November 5, 2020 By Redding Traiger Leave a Comment

To address safety and mission-critical applications, where continued data integrity is of paramount importance, Harwin now offers additional cable assembly services for its popular Gecko series. Produced on-demand, these assemblies provide greater resilience against ambient electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk from neighboring wiring.

Engineers can now specify double-ended cables with either twisted-pair wiring (different colors being applied to each to ease identification) or fully shielded mesh braidings (with metal backshells on the connectors). They are also able to benefit from cabling that has a combination of both of these mechanisms – to maximize protection, as well as enhance mechanical robustness via the sturdy housings used.

These new cable assemblies are available for Gecko-SL connectors which rely on jackscrew locking. Here female-to-female, male-to-female (featuring either standard or reverse-fix orientations on the male connector), and male-to-male (again with standard and reverse-fix orientation options) are all covered. Likewise, these assemblies can be offered with the female-to-female, male-to-female, and male-to-male variants based on the latched-type Gecko. For maximum design flexibility, single-ended options for both males and females are also offered. These cables are twisted at the point of manufacture, so they will not unravel. This means that no additional clamp or tape needs to be attached on the free end. Lengths up to 10m can be specified.

Optimized for use in high-density electronics where there is little free space, the Gecko connectors present a compact and lightweight alternative to bulkier and heavier Micro-D units. They are being incorporated into a wide range of aerospace and defense systems, as well as proving value in robotics, satellites, medical equipment, and other applications. For quality assurance, these Harwin cable assemblies are subject to rigorous testing and inspection procedures prior to shipment.
