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. This topic center focuses on connectors’ functions in communications applications such as datacom, telecom and wireless, which actually requires a good deal of wiring – and connectors – in its infrastructure. You’ll also find information about the growing worldwide importance of eliminating or restricting hazardous materials from communications-systems electronics.
