Smiths Interconnect announced the introduction of a new contact technology for the medical market segment, the Custom Grid Array.

Optical interconnectivity is having a significant impact on the defence industry. Not only does it allow greater amounts of data to be passed over longer distances, but it also minimises SWaP (size, weight, and power) relative to copper alternatives. In fact, cabling weight can be reduced by more than 90% and carry high-speed data 15 to 20 times further, which is especially beneficial for airborne systems allowing far lower fuel consumption &ndas...
