Building blocks expand your USB connections
Gone are the days owners of the latest MacBook edition have to choose which device they want to connect to using the USB-C thanks to Cusby, which has introduced its line of modular and expandable solutions to break free single port limitations. Rather than rely on a bulky USB hub or docking station, Cusby is modular, meaning users don’t have to commit to a set of ports that you may or may not use.
Feed-Thru terminators have impedances of 75 & 93Ω
Cal Test Electronics announces an upgrade to its popular 50Ω BNC Feed-Thru terminator along with the introduction of two new models featuring impedance's of 75 and 93Ω. The improved model CT2944, now designated CT2944-50, features an increased 2GHz bandwidth and an impedance tolerance of ±0.25Ω, with its accuracy at now 0.5%. The CT2944's BNC female coaxial connector is gold plated for lower contact resistance and corrosi...
World's first all-in-one USB Type-C & PD controller
Texas Instruments has introduced the first all-in-one USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery (PD) controller, which integrates a port power switch and port data multiplexer. The TPS65982 USB PD controller is the only IC available that provides the full power path, operating as a Single- or Dual-Role Port and enabling a variety of host and device power implementations.
U-remote HD modules produce 32 connection points
Weidmüller has annouced its latest HD modules. Four lines with wire cross-sections of 0.14 to 0.32mm2 can be connected to every single HD connector, producing 32 connection points on what is already the narrowest module width on the market at just 11.5mm. Connection density goes hand in hand with system structure flexibility: there is enough room on these HD modules for all the wiring for eight individually pluggable sensors or actuators.
Caution: inappropriate cable cleats
Across the electrical industry, the incorrect interpretation of short-circuit test reports leads to inappropriate cable cleats being specified and installed with worrying regularity. Richard Shaw, Managing Director, Ellis, explains the situation and what needs to be done to rectify it.

A greater combination of functions in a single connector
Featuring six-terminal inputs for a greater combination of functions in a single connector, Amphenol Industrial Products Group the Tru-Loc signal splitter. Reducing the number of connectors needed in an application, the splitter receives power and signal from one cable and splits it into two equal, yet separate, sets of power and signal as output. This saves money and space while enabling additional functionality.
