Cables / Wires
SUYIN offers custom cable solutions
In many compact devices, space and design constraints make it impossible to place certain interface connectors at the end of the printed circuit board (PCB). Whether for USB, D-Sub, Modular, SATA, DC or other I/O connections – SUYIN offers custom cable solutions. This makes it possible to place the connectors anywhere within the enclosure and results in a flexible connection to the PCB. On the other end of the cable, there is a board-to-wire connector.
