Hinge Component Pass-Through with CABLINE® Harness Assemblies

In recent years, device makers are paying much more attention to slimmer designs,  which requires more innovative ideas to fit components in these much smaller spaces.

The CABLINE® series harness assemblies are not only capable of transmitting high-speed signals, but they can also be threaded through hinge components in a limited space.
