USB-C
USB-C is a modern connector that is gradually replacing the old USB ports. It is much more compact, but can do far more than just transfer data. USB-C is also very good at transmitting power (Power Delivery) and video signals. This makes it a versatile all-rounder for many applications.

Keystone isolators
The isolator works on the principle of galvanic isolation, ensuring that there is no electrical connection between the connected parts of the network. Interrupting the galvanic connection eliminates potential problems such as potential differences and electromagnetic interference – for smooth and secure data transmission.

UltraFlex power cable
Conventional power cables have one bad property: because of their rigid inner conductor and stiff PVC sheath, they are very inflexible. This makes them difficult to handle and, in the worst case, can lead to contact failures at the plug/cable interface. With our UltraFlex power cables, this problem is a thing of the past.

Universal Serial Bus (USB)
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface was developed in the 1990s to provide a uniform interface for all devices that were to be connected to a computer. The introduction of this universal interface was a response to the growing number of different peripherals, each of which used its own special interface and a different cable that were not compatible with the computer.

Galvanic network isolators
In medical environments, too, it must be ensured that sensitive medical devices and patients are protected against potentially dangerous electrical interference. This is achieved by using galvanic isolators, which separate the flow of electrical currents between two parts of a network, rendering any potential fluctuations or voltage spikes harmless.

Fibre-optic technology
Glass fibre cables, also known as fibre-optic cables, are a form of transmission line that carries optical signals by means of light waves. While a classic network connection over copper cable may be no more than 100 metres long, fibre-optic cables connect entire continents.
