The role of the connector in datacom and telecom systems cannot be overstated. Alternatively viewed as the weak link and a critical design component, connectivity technology strives to be less of the former and more of the latter.

You’ll also find information about the growing worldwide importance of eliminating or restricting hazardous materials from communications-systems electronics.
