Custom SlimSAS SFF-8654 Cables: What to Specify
Signal integrity, gauge, length, and connector options to specify for custom SFF-8654 cables so they pass at 12/24 Gb/s.
USB4 v2.0 and Thunderbolt 5: What 80 Gbps Means for Cable Specification
USB4 v2 and Thunderbolt 5 push 80 Gbps and 240W, but only on cables rated for it. This guide covers the speed/power tiers, the e-marker requirement, passive vs active, and how to spec a cable that delivers.
Cable Bend Radius: Why It Matters and How to Specify It in Industrial Assemblies
Bend radius, not pull force, is the most common cause of hidden cable failure. This guide covers the bend-radius rule, what happens when you exceed it, and how to spec and route cables that survive.
USB-C Connector Durability: Insertion Cycles, Mating Force and What Causes Loose Connections
USB-C is rated for ~10,000 mating cycles, but real durability depends on shell plating, retention and environment. This guide covers the rating, the failure modes, and how to spec a connector that survives industrial and field use.
USB4 Cables Explained: 40Gbps Data, 240W Charging and What Buyers Must Specify
USB4 is the first USB generation that looks nothing like the ones before it: one small Type-C connector now tunnels 40 Gbps of data, an 8K video stream and up to 240 W of charging over the same cable, while remaining compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 gear. For buyers — distributors building a cable programme, […]
