Tips For Selecting flexible cable
times the cable diameter. Worse yet, cable for robotic equipment is twisted clockwise and counterclockwise through angles ranging from 90 to 360 , and must be able to withstand high torsional stresses. However, specifying the proper cable for each application dramatically increases the life...

Caring for Cables
applications, especially with long travel lengths. Failure of the cable core releases torsional stress and makes the cable "corkscrew." In contrast, cables with bundled conductors balance torsional stress, which stabilizes the core under high bending stress. Wires twist together using a special pitch...

Cordsets for Power Distribution
diverse environmental conditions, including water, oil and temperature fluctuations. By eliminating the need for conduit and individual terminations for each wire, cordsets deliver plug-and-play connectivity. Environmentally protected cable was developed to provide the same crush and impact resistance...

Protecting the Universal Serial Bus from Over Voltage and Overcurrent Threats (.pdf)
such as mice, modems and keyboards (see Figure 1). Additionally, a single hub permits the connection of several USB devices by providing power through the communication cable itself, eliminating the need for individually powered peripherals. It also allows mixed high-speed communications between USB...

These cables can be degraded by excess pulling force. that tends to untwist the twisted pairs, and also by the use of tie wraps applied too often. or too tightly. Cable performance should be tested after installation...

Live! Exposed! And on the Web!
with a 1,280 1,024 CMOS color-image sensor. The sensor is exactly aligned with the optical axis for uniform image focus. An attached ribbon cable controls shutter release and on-the-fly programming to select between resolution, frame rate and bit width. The module can also zoom, pan, tilt, flip, and mirror...

Don't get your wires in a bunch
on the 3D matrix. Connecting webs in the ring-node matrix create vertical rows and columns, becoming conductive paths between ring nodes. Each grid is over-molded with a thick layer of plastic -- a glass-filled polyester that handles high ambient engine temperatures. This insulates the layers from each...
