Our cable assemblies provide a reliable and durable connection between the EDT parallel interface card and an external device. These cable assemblies allow faster transmission speeds, lower propagation delay and better controlled impedance than standard multi-pair cables. The cable is UL listed 28 AWG 7/36 tinned copper conductor, surrounded by a polyolefin insulation and PVC jacket. The 68-pin and 80-pin high density end mates with the EDT interface board.
EDT has defined a number of cables for use with our products. To see if the cable you need is already specified for manufacture by EDT, consult the following list:
We can make custom cables from your specifications. A one time set-up fee is charged on the initial order. Consult us for custom cable assemblies and adapters for your unique requirements.
