For cable assemblies, MDR wiremount connectors are designed to accommodate a wide variety of cables types. Choices include unshielded flat ribbon and Pleated Foil Covered cable in .050” and .025” pitch, and round, discrete cable types such as shielded twisted pair, unshielded twisted pair, and twin-ax styles. Consideration should be given to how the connectors are latched together at the interface. Quick-release finger latches are preferred for use in office, lab or medical environments, while thumbscrew backshell configurations are favored for industrial and transportation equipment applications. 3M MDR Cable Assemblies are also available in a secure overmolded configuration for robustness and reliability in the field.
