Micro Interconnects announced that it now manufactures 50-ohm Mictor cable assemblies in an effort to solve difficult signal routing challenges, reduce capacitive input loading, and improve isolation between adjacent channels when used with logic analyzers or oscilloscopes. The Mictor coaxial cable assemblies use Micro Interconnects' 38 AWG Super Micro Coax and are offered in both standard and custom configurations via the company's online cable builder, which may be found at http://www.microinterconnects.com/cable_builder.
The Mictor name is a trademark of Tyco Electronics. Micro Interconnects is a featured portfolio company under High Speed Interconnects, a holding company focused on growing interconnect technology companies. For more information, visit http://www.highspeedint.com.

Compression probe technology makes sense in logic analyzers
By BROCK J. LaMERES and BRENT A. HOLCOMBE, Agilent -- The physical connection between the logic analyzer and the target printed circuit board (PCB) is a major concern for engineers. The industry standard connection for logic analyzers over the past 10 years has been the Mictor connector. While this connector provides the high density connection desired, its electrical loading and mechanical reliability make it ill-suited for today’s systems. Compression-probe technology has emerged as the new industry standard to replace the Mictor connector. This new technology offers a host of electrical and mechanical advantages over the Mictor.
