With the rise of Industry 4.0, wearables, and new technologies in the defense and medical industries, today\u2019s engineers are not only challenged to get all the necessary data transferred, but to figure out how fast we can get the massive amounts of data to move as well. Wired connections still transport more data faster than wireless, so the hunt for faster data transmission without interference continues to drive innovation in connectors, traditional copper cabling, and fiber optics.<\/p>\n

In his article published in ConnectorSupplier\u2019s \u20182020 Data Connectivity eBook\u2019, Hassan Fadli, Head of Product Design at Fischer Connectors, describes three things to consider when you have a need for data speed:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Connector Design and Selection.<\/strong> Designing a connectivity solution for a specific data protocol requires optimizing the design of both the connector and the cable. While they have to work properly together, the first condition for a functional solution is to have a connector that is capable of handling a specific protocol or multiple high-speed protocols. The protocol or protocols used will determine the number of contacts for each connector.<\/li>\n
  2. Cable Design and Selection.<\/strong> You have to look beyond the connector and its configuration to achieve a certain data speed. The construction of the cable itself plays a huge role in determining whether a connectivity solution will meet high-speed data requirements (cf. ISO\/IEC 11801 for cable categories and cable shielding, which also plays a role in data speed).<\/li>\n
  3. Simulation and Testing.<\/strong> Once a connector and cable have been designed and optimized for a defined protocol, a physical product prototype needs to be tested to validate the full characterization using a network analyzer. It\u2019s not outside the realm of possibility for a connector and a cable to each separately pass a speed test but then fail when put together, so it\u2019s crucial to test the full assembly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
