developed for applications that require precise electrical length connectivity. Huber+Suhner has designed a reliable interconnect solution to suit a wide range of applications where phase stability is key. The assemblies are designed to meet all requirements in radio frequency, aerospace and defense, test and measurement, and industrial environments. They also offer an improved insertion loss stability over temperature, compared to standard coaxial cables. Eduardo Romero, product manager at Huber+Suhner, said: “The new assemblies achieve increased accuracy, stability and reliability over multiple temperature cycles, and there are no limitations, no matter the temperature or industry. The new and improved CT variants of the tried and tested Sucoform, EZ, Minibend and Multiflex product families are practical and cost effective, yet performance and reliability are never compromised. “Giving customers the option to control fluctuating temperature changes within their cable assemblies will ultimately lead to increased accuracy, stability and reliability.” Anchor improvements Index Fixing Systems has improved and extended its range of structural MTH anchors, with the introduction of a new MTH-A2 anchor. Improvements in the design

patch cords is said to deliver a complete end-to-end system that exceeds ISO/ IEC category 8.2/class II specifications for 2-connector, 30m class II channels in the data center. These channels, and the emerging 25G/40GBASE-T applications that they support, are specifically targeted for deployment at the data center edge, where server to switch connections are made. Mike Boisseau, Siemon’s business unit leader for copper systems, said: “Siemon’s fully shielded Tera connector has long been the highest-performing copper connector available, so it was no surprise that it easily achieved category 8.2 compliance with plenty of margin, and we are now excited to introduce our complete end-to-end Tera category 8.2 system.” Boisseau added: “Not only is the Tera connector far more robust than other twisted-pair copper connectors, but the category 8.2 system provides enhanced insertion loss and crosstalk performance over RJ45-based category 8 systems.” New assemblies Huber+Suhner launched its newest cable assemblies at November’s Electronica, in Munich, Germany.
