Etherline® Series, Circular Cable Assemblies

Circular cable assemblies are a type of cable assembly that consists of a length of cable material terminated at one or more ends with a circular connector. These connectors are typically round in cross-section and have contacts arranged according to a polar layout, as opposed to a rectangular layout. The circular cable assemblies feature a variety of common circular connector styles, such as XLR, DIN, and metric circular connectors ranging in size from M5 through M40. These connectors are widely used in audio, video, and data applications, as well as in industrial and military settings due to their robust and reliable design. The use of circular connectors allows for secure and stable connections, making them suitable for applications where vibration, moisture, or environmental factors may be a concern. Additionally, the polar layout of the contacts ensures proper alignment and secure mating of the connectors, which is essential for reliable signal transmission. Overall, circular cable assemblies are versatile and widely used in various industries, providing reliable connectivity for a range of applications. Their compatibility with different circular connector styles and sizes makes them suitable for diverse use cases, from professional audio equipment to industrial machinery.
