‘Coaxial Cables’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release RDS monitor kit suited for mobile applications from Review Display Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Review Display Systems' 7in monitor kit comprises of a high-spec WVGA TFT panel and associated driver card, allowing both video and VGA input, and making it ideal for mobile applications. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Rugged HT cable suited to defence applications from Quadrant Connections: "Quadrant Connections has expanded its stock with the introduction of Habla's MoD-approved Speedfoam 240 HT and 400 HT low-loss, high-power RF coaxial cables, designed for use in armoured vehicles.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Laser Components - take a look at Laser Components offers AR coatings on fibres which says: "Laser Components' fibre-optics customers can now benefit from anti-reflection coatings on fibres, which have a particularly positive effect in medical technology and material processing. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Link Microtek, Rotary joints enable high-power transmissions, as well as Cable assemblies target test-bench applications from Radiall, and Tyco device connects locally controlled motors from Tyco Electronics.
