How to mate and unmate the CABLINE®-CAP / Micro-Coaxial Cable Connectors.
Compact, low-profile design for high-speed transmission, the CABLINE®-UY is a micro-coaxial cable connector that delivers high performance even in space-constrained environments.
I-PEX CABLINE® series has been well-received for their compact size, high-speed transmission, and EMI countermeasures. Recently, I-PEX released the CABLINE®-CAL IIF, which is 0.4 mm pitch, 0.9 mm max. mating height, horizontally mated, ZenShield®, high-speed transmission (32 Gbps/lane) connector for FPC connection.

Paddle Card Technology Offers high signal integrity by using a paddle card in the cable plug. Data rates and cross talk performance of existing CABLINE® series products are optimized even further.
I-PEX has released additional pin counts for IARPB® VERTICAL, vibration resistant, one-piece, vertical type board-in connector.

I-PEX has released additional pin counts for CABLINE®-UM, fully-shielded with multi-point grounds, mechanical lock, high-data-rate transfer (40 Gbps/lane PAM3), 0.4 mm pitch, right angle vertical mating type micro-coaxial connector.
I-PEX has released additional pin counts for NOVASTACK® 35-P, a robust connector with hold-down that can also be used as a power contact capable of transmitting 2.2A/pin.

This white paper introduces the CABLINE® series connectors, specifically the dual-row connectors CABLINE®-CX II, CABLINE®-UX II and CABLINE®-UA II. It focuses and discusses on the different pin-out selection and PCB breakouts to overcome some of the challenges that are presented with dual-row connectors.

"Empty-closure", a common occurrence in manufacturing and assembly, is the operation of an actuator without inserting an FPC into the connector. It can cause connector damage or incomplete mating when the FPC is subsequently inserted. This white paper introduces the "empty-closure" issue by using I-PEX's MINIFLEX® series as an example, and how it is addressed, as well as the design know-how gained through analysis and calculation to ensure that the connector will function even if an empty closure occurs.
