Product catalog summary

Micro-D Twinax Connectors Overview
Smiths Interconnect provides a comprehensive range of differential Twinax and Quadrax connectors, contacts, and cable assemblies designed for high-speed Ethernet, FireWire, and Fiber Channel applications. These connectors ensure superior performance in high-speed, matched impedance data applications, maintaining signal integrity and minimizing jitter and data rate errors.

Testing Capabilities
The connectors are tested for eye pattern, jitter, skew, and insertion loss on differential pair 100 ohm high-speed gigabit Ethernet applications. The Agilent E5071C 4 port network analyzer is used for accurate measurements up to 20 GHz and can measure eye diagrams up to 16 Gbps.
