As enterprises and cloud providers grapple with growing volumes of data from AI training, analytics, and hyperscale services, traditional board-mounted connectors and cables are reaching their limits. CDFP (Composable Data Fabric Pluggable) connectors answer this challenge by delivering a standardized, high-density,...

The Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable (OSFP) connector has emerged as a cornerstone in high-speed data center and telecommunication infrastructure. Engineered to support 400 Gbps and beyond, OSFP addresses the ever-growing demand for bandwidth, density, and thermal efficiency. This article dissects the OSFP connector’s...

Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) connectors have become the linchpin of modern high-speed networking. Engineered to support data rates from 4×10 Gb/s to 4×100 Gb/s in a single compact module, QSFP family modules deliver incredible performance in data centers, telecommunications, and high-performance computing...

The Very High-Density Cable Interconnect (VHDCI) connector is a 68-pin, 0.8 mm pitch interface originally standardized in the SPI-2 document of SCSI-3. It provides a miniaturized, Centronics-style footprint that packs wide SCSI connectivity into a single compact receptacle. VHDCI’s high pin count and compact size make it...

The D-SUB connector, often called DE-9, DB-25 or simply “D-sub,” was first introduced in the 1950s by Cannon as part of the DE-9 family. Its distinctive D-shaped metal shell protects the contact pins and ensures proper mating orientation. Originally designed for military avionics and communications equipment, it rapidly...

In the ever-evolving world of electronics, where devices are becoming smaller, faster, and more powerful, the need for compact yet efficient connectors has never been greater. Among the unsung heroes of this transformation is the LFH connector—short for Low Force Helix. Though not as widely recognized as HDMI or USB, LFH...

Packaging film serves as the frontline defense for countless products, shielding them from environmental hazards, contamination, and mechanical damage. Made from flexible polymer sheets, these films play a critical role across industries—from food and pharmaceuticals to electronics and consumer goods. Their adaptability,...

Precision Coating has been a cornerstone in the medical device industry for more than half a century. Since its founding in 1969, the company has specialized in high-tolerance coating applications and advanced metal finishing services. Based in Hudson, Massachusetts, Precision Coating leverages proprietary technologies...

Roll coating is a widely adopted method for applying liquid films onto continuous substrate surfaces with precise control and high throughput. Using a set of rotating rollers, a uniform layer of paint, adhesive, varnish, or functional fluid is transferred onto webs of paper, plastic films, metals, or textiles. The...

As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to revolutionize transportation, the spotlight often falls on batteries, motors, and sleek designs. Yet, behind the scenes, a small but critical component ensures safety and reliability: the EV fuse. These compact devices are the first line of defense against electrical faults,...
