Tektronix has announced that it has successfully validated the performance of the new Intel 100 meter Infiniband cable operating at speeds up to 20 Gb/s. The world’s longest InfiniBand optical cable has an electrical interface on either end and uses four serial data lanes at 5 Gb/s each. The cable will be useful in accelerating the performance of large computing clusters. The cables will be used as the part of the backbone network at the Int...

PULS announces the introduction of a new low cost product range. The CS Series is based on the market leading Dimension QS product range but with a much reduced feature-set, which enables very competitive pricing. These single-phase power supplies continue to demonstrate PULS’s design excellence and reliability, while being priced to compete directly with low cost imports from the Far East.

Powerstax has announced a family of ultra-compact 275W switch mode power supplies. The N-0275 series units feature digital power management and optional PMBus™ capability. The N-0275 family has been designed for OEM applications such as industrial automation, telecommunications, gaming systems, security and surveillance systems and network servers. The compact, very low profile form-factor power supplies deliver 12.22 watts per inch³ power de...

Available from Lorlin Electronics, the UK’s longest established switch manufacturer, is the SRL-10 miniature lock-switch. Capable of switching 10A loads at 250VAC this very compact switch may be used in security applications such as limiting access to air-conditioning systems at rented properties and hotels, switching of solenoid valves in industrial process control applications, security door entry systems, burglar and fire alarm systems and m...

Keithley Instruments has announced its Model 2100 6½-Digit USB Digital Multimeter (DMM), a high precision, low-cost USB-based instrument. The Model 2100 is ideal for a wide range of production test, burn-in, and manual and semi-automatic research and development applications in bench, portable, or small system measurement configurations. The Model 2100 is being offered for a limited-time introductory price of only EUR 595.

Texas Instruments has introduced a single-channel version of its TPS40KT stackable controller family that transforms power supplies in data centers and telecommunications equipment into fully scalable, interleaved power systems with higher performance and design flexibility. TI's TPS40180 synchronous, DC/DC controller allows a system designer to connect or stack together multiple power modules, resulting in a high-density power supply that suppor...

New TPM series multi-anode “mirror” configuration multianode tantalum capacitors have been developed by AVX, delivering reduced height, lower self inductance and lower Equivalent Series Resistance. The new symmetrical design reduces ESL to 1nH – half that of standard D case sized devices. Low ESL enables a higher resonant frequency up to 500kHz (mirror D case), delivering more efficient filtering in DC/DC power switching convert...

Rittal’s RiCool III flat pack fan, is a third generation high-capacity direct current fan which has a maximum capacity of 320 m3/h (unimpeded airflow, RiCool II: 275 m3/h) and 71 mm H20 static pressure, which can dissipate high heat losses, such as those found in AdvancedTCA applications. Requiring just 1 U of installation space, RiCool III is integrated as standard in Rittal’s AdvancedTCA shelves.

Cherry Electrical – manufacturers of computer keyboards and mice – has appointed its long-standing distributor, Devlin Electronics as “Customisation Partner”. This will mean that users of Cherry keyboards in the retail and other sectors will benefit from fully customised layouts and graphics – increasing productivity, reducing errors and potentially enhancing customers’ branding.

New MHF micro coax antenna connectors from connector and component manufacturer GTK include versions with a mating height of just 1.5mm (MHF III) - claimed to be one of the lowest profile connectivity devices on the market. Further benefits include excellent VSWR characteristics, wide operating frequency (DC to 6GHz), low insertion loss and RoHS compliance.
