Smiths Interconnect offers a complete line of differential Twinax and Quadrax connectors, contacts and cable assemblies for high speed Ethernet, Firewire, and Fibre Channel applications. Differential pair quadrax and twinax connectors and cable assemblies offer superior performance in high speed matched impedance data-on-demand applications. The signal to signal and signal to shield characteristic impedance is maintained throughout the connector pair. A true twinaxial connector interface ensures signal integrity while minimizing jitter and data rate errors.
