L-com Debuts New USB 3.0 Type-C Cable Assemblies

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. (April 18, 2017) – L-com Global Connectivity, a preferred manufacturer of wired and wireless connectivity products, announced today that it has launched two new series of USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-A cable assemblies that are ideal for data storage, video transfer and data acquisition applications.

L-com’s new USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-A cable assemblies are available in two configurations: Type-C female to Type-A male and Type-C male to Type-A female. With data transfer rates of 4.8 Gbps, these cable assemblies meet USB 3.0 standards. They feature 360-degrees of shielding with an overall aluminum/polyester shield and a tinned copper braid shield.

These cable assemblies have fully shielded, twisted pair data lines that provide protection against EMI/RFI, reduce crosstalk and allow for maximum cable flexibility. Type-C connectors allow for simple plug-and-play connections with hand held devices and other USB 3.0 Type-C devices. Both cable series are available in .3, .5, 1, 2 and 3 meter, and 3 foot lengths.

“L-com’s USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-A cable assemblies feature double-shielding and robust cable jacketing to meet the highest manufacturing standards and exceed customer expectations of quality, durability and performance,” said Brian Gates, Product Manager.

L-com’s USB 3.0 Type-C cable assemblies include 30u gold-plated connectors for repeated mating cycles, and fully molded connectors for excellent strain relief. They are ideal for mobile devices, computer peripheral devices, gaming, diagnostic tools and medical, military and aerospace applications.

Electrical Connectors for Hermetically Sealed Applications
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Bel
Many hermetic chambers today require electrical pathways to provide internal equipment with power, data or signals, or to receive data and signals from equipment within the chamber. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Brad Taras from Cinch Connectivity Solutions explore the role that seals and connectors play in the performance of hermetic chambers. They examine the methodologies to determine hermetic seal leaks, the benefits of epoxy hermetic seals, and how Cinch Connectivity’s epoxy-based seals and hermetic connectors can add value to your next design.
