Cables for Tuff View LCD Monitors

Tuff View monitor cable

Motium's Tuff View LCD monitor cables have been designed for use in rugged environments such as transportation and industrial control. Each aspect of the design considered the unique needs these industries.

The monitor end uses a high quality IP65 rated circular connector. A female connector on the cable-side reduces the risk of damaging pins or creating electrical shorts.

The PC-end of the cable provides standard VGA (DB-15), RS-232 (DB-9) or USB, and Audio (3.5mm Mono Jack) connectors. All moulded onto the cable, ensuring connection integrity to the monitor is maintained.

Beneath the outer sheath is a braided mesh, which in addition to mechanical strength provides protection against EMI and EMC.

The cable consists of three 75ohm coaxial cores for the VGA signals, and multiple twisted pairs which carry the USB, RS-232, Audio and power signals. A ferrite bead on the PC-end ensures that radiated EMI from the PC is kept to a minimum.

Motium's range of cables come in many combinations of cable length, RS232 or USB data, and connector type. Customised cables to suit your requirements are also available.
